I was quite happy with the way I went, I think.

I had an awful lot to say in what I wore as Romana.

I enjoyed the promotion with K9 on my introduction day.

Oh, I have to say Romana; she was much more fun to do but I did enjoy the Princess when she was turning bad.

I mean, I was first offered Princess Astra.

I was quite happy with the way I went, I think.

I can't bear it that Douglas isn't still here.

Although the French were very friendly and helpful. On one location we were to film at the top of the Eiffel Tower but we couldn't, as it was so misty with four inches of snow on the ground. We couldn't see a thing but we finally got it done.

One of the advantages of appearing in such a play is that you begin to understand it properly, I feel Ophelia's tragedy was that she had been so used by everybody and felt that she bore a great burden of guilt.

We were only there for five days and during that time Tom was a bit annoyed that the French were more interested in me and my schoolgirl outfit than him and his long scarf.

I think Douglas was a real one-off. He was so clever and so intelligent and so well read in real science that he could make science fiction work as well as it did. And just such fun to have around, he was just such a lovely man.

I like that totally mixed up kind of eclectic group of personal props and bits of costume and I think the fun of doing that is where I was very lucky with Doctor Who.

I think the kind of unexpected I really love is when you open books and the actual way of writing is different and interesting. Like reading Virginia Woolf for the first time or Lawrence Durrell for the first time.

Don't ask me who my favourite monster was because I'm sick of saying Tom Baker.

When I got into high school, clarinet was not really in fashion. Everybody had electric bands.

The country in which reparations actually happen is a very different one than the one we live in.

I would sooner read a time-table or a catalogue than nothing at all. They are much more entertaining than half the novels that are written.

The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.

All I've ever wanted to do was play music and go on the road and make records.

I always fear that creation will expire before tea-time.

Every great movement in the history of Western civilization from the Carolingian age to the nineteenth century has been an international movement which owed its existence and its development to the cooperation of many different peoples.

What is the harm of doing the right thing? What is the harm of doing our job as legislators and making sure we do not stick the entire bankruptcy community with these provisions that do not make any sense?

When you go off in the world and make your life, and you come back to your home town, and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles, doing the same things, that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block, little town. It doesn't really grow or change.

We ought to be providing protective sanctuaries for the Kurdish rebels. That means finding some places where they can come and to which we will then be able to provide food and water and medical help.

The depth of concern people feel about UKIP is not always matched by depth of understanding.

If you have so earth-creeping a mind that it cannot lift itself up to look to the sky of poetry... thus much curse I must send you, in the behalf of all poets, that while you live, you live in love, and never get favour for lacking skill of a sonnet; and, when you die, your memory die from the earth for want of an epitaph.

Being nice to everybody, saying hello to everyone in the room, signing every autograph; it was instilled in me at a very young age that this was what I was suppose to do. But I don't think it helps at all. I see more people who are rude or arrogant being rewarded - but, this way, I can put my head on the pillow at night.

There is that awful moment when you realize that you're falling in love. That should be the most joyful moment, and actually it's not. It's always a moment that's full of fear because you know, as night follows day, the joy is going to rapidly be followed by some pain or other. All the angst of a relationship.

My parents' selfless affection and dedication nourished and prepared me to receive the love of my guru or spiritual father, Swami Prabhupada. My parents prepared the soil in which my guru sowed the seeds of his compassion.

When I was first diagnosed, I went out, as a book person, and got some books on cancer and looked up my version of the disease. It said that I had about a 5 percent chance of survival. I said, 'Gosh, well, it's been a good run.' What I didn't realize is that in the two years since those books were published, things had shifted dramatically.

The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering

Once in a while, when I was younger, I'd lie, then tell the truth, and I'd feel better.

Redistricting and a broken, polarized Congress have made it tough to be a moderate in Congress.

When you have real power you don't threaten. People know what your capabilities are.

My little brothers can ask me any question in the world, and if I've got the answer, I'm going to give it to them.

I always go into a fight thinking the decision is going to be fair, and I relish these fights where the atmosphere is so fantastic.

My entire adolescence was geared toward one thing: gymnastics.

Because it's difficult to have a career as an artist, and in every situation where it's difficult to have a career, it's even harder for women, for all the other reasons that it's harder in other fiercely contested fields.
