Sylvester McCoy

“I don't relax. I sit down and contemplate all the energetic things I should do.”

“Theatre is the principal job of an actor. An actor's job is to tell a story to someone in a room. TV and film can be great and I really love doing it, but it is a different way of telling a story.”

“I've never planned my career, really. It just comes along, and I do whatever comes next!”

“On stage you look much larger than you are. You can have subtle changes of timing; how you place a punch line in a joke or movement or emotion according to an audience.”
