In the next few years I'd love to play a female version of Doctor Who. I know exactly how I would play her - she would be crafty in a clever kind of way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you're working on 'Doctor Who,' you've got to be the Doctor. So yeah, I think they need a woman Doctor, and that's who I'd like to be.
I do think it's well over-time to have a female Doctor Who. I think a gay, black female Doctor Who would be the best of all.
I enjoyed playing someone who is a professional, intelligent, defined by her work and not her role as a wife or mother.
Even when I'm playing a lawyer or a doctor, I want to play a person. A human being.
What I'd love to do is every now and then go, 'Oh my God, I've got this amazing idea for 'Doctor Who.'
There are a lot of dream roles that I couldn't do, like James Bond and Indiana Jones; I'd never get a look in there, but actually, Doctor Who is probably the only one that I could because he's quite quirky, and the fact that he regenerates he can actually be anyone. So one day, who knows, I might have a chance. I'd love to play that part.
I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.
I could never play the ingenue, the girl next door or the very successful young doctor. That would be a bore.
It would be amazing to play Sylvia Plath. She was so dark, and what came out of her writing was troubled and fierce. The dimensions, levels, layers and levels would be incredible to take on.
I'd love to play Wonder Woman.
