“You will not get me in one second of an interview criticising another actress for a phenomenal performance.”

“I'm a quiet person's nightmare - the only time I shut up is when I'm reading, because I'm a book geek.”

“I was the attention-seeking child in class who needed everyone to look at meee.”

“I am a quiet person's nightmare. The only time I shut up is when I'm reading, because I'm a book geek.”

“I 100% want to support the movement, #MeToo and Time's Up. We are a sisterhood.”

“A woman is never going to get to be Bond or Doctor Who. That will never happen.”

“You want to be a citizen of the world, and then life happens, and you forget to be a citizen of the world; you're a citizen of your own existence.”

“I exist on a caffeine level ten.”

“I would have been a nightmare in any kind of office, because I wouldn't have had any friends in any environment other than performing.”

“The worst thing about being in the public eye is that journalists write things that you can't control.”

“I've never been mugged, never really experienced street fear. In fact, I'm the one who gets into arguments because I don't keep my mouth shut.”

“Being the first female Doctor and showing children that their heroes in shows don't always look the same is a huge honour for me.”

“I'm not cerebral in any way. Education, for me, was a nightmare. You put someone talking in front of me, and I cannot engage with that. I think that's why I'm an actor; if I can physically be in it, I get it.”

“I've never experienced sexual harassment at work, but I 100% believe and support everyone that has come forward, because I'm very lucky that it has never happened to me.”
