“I'm a terrible person for carrying things around. I carry everything around with me, it's like my home.”

“I often look at a lot of Doctor Who stuff that's about now, which no one has approached me about.”

“Before I got Doctor Who, I went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I went back to take the final grade exam, which is the grade you have to take before you can take the teacher's diploma.”

“I thought The Visitation was good fun. We did some of that filming at Ealing on the big set.”

“I got very fit that week with all the running around that we di. I was always last, because I can't run as fast as everyone else. I'm useless at running.”

“I went to ballet school for nine years, and there was an agent for the whole school who happened to be there visiting one of the performances. She suggested an audition.”

“I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera, which I bought for his birthday.”

“I enjoyed showing a bit more leg in the last few stories. It was good fun, but it can be quite sexist. But it doesn't worry me personally all that much.”

“Strikes always leave a bad taste with everyone.”

“The cybermen are good monsters, I think. My earliest memories are of the cybermen from when I used to watch when I was younger. It's nice to have them back.”

“One of my favorite stories was Black Orchid, because it was so different from all the others. I especially enjoyed dancing the Charleston. I have always been keen on dancing.”

“Playing an alien gave me plenty of scope, and I was able to develop it once I became a member of the team.”

“I do still like television very much, but the theatre does really have something special about it.”

“I'd like to do some more classical work if I do some more theatre.”

“I'm not really a science-fiction fan, I quite like the idea of getting away from the science-fiction side of it, for two episodes. It was lovely, it was a super story and great fun.”

“In the studio, if they need to come down to the floor, things are a bit pushy, although it is easier for them to say things directly rather than through about five people.”

“What you don't see backstage is what really controls the show.”

“I don't know if you've ever tried writing a Doctor Who story, but it's a lot more difficult than it initially appears, especially if you've got more than one assistant.”

“When we went to Belfast we saw some beautiful countryside and coastlines.”

“After two years of doing one show, you do get attached to everyone.”
