“I've never ever read a script. I really must read Macbeth, because I was in it once. I got a lot of laughs in that, I can tell you.”
“I really think that reading a whole script is kind of prying and neurotic, don't you?”
“Well, I think if more people had more applause, it would make them feel better. I often give my wife a round of applause. If the meal is very good I give her a standing ovation.”
“We have newsreaders behaving like actors, lowering their voices if it's a sad story, as if we didn't know it's a sad story. There isn't a single cool newsreader.”
“I have no regrets about being 'Doctor Who'. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”
“I never examined what I did in any great detail because I thought it would spoil things. I never read the scripts at all carefully, and never wanted to know what was going on, because I felt that being a benevolent alien that's the way it should be.”
“I am a one success man.”
“I'm obsessive about the kind of melodrama of getting through the days and trying to make them good and funny and a happy experience. But my feeling towards the fans is that they delivered me from darkness.”
“I wasn't interested in novelty. I was looking for good drama.”
“The Old Testament is my favourite science fantasy reading.”
