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 think I must have too much to eat, we were doing a scene where we were crawling, and I ripped my trousers. I was very embarrassed. I was sown in, stitched in, quickly!

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

I like the stories with the historical themes.

I enjoyed working with Peter, I was very pleased when I heard he was going to be the Doctor.

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

There are generations who watch Doctor Who together.

There's lots of interesting jobs in the profession besides acting, and I like to try and keep an eye on and understand other people's jobs, rather than just my own.

Doctor Who is like any long-running series in that the cast tend to look to the star to set the general tone. Rehearsals and filming could be a lot of fun.

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

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 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.

Strikes always leave a bad taste with everyone.

I found it a little bit stressful, because I wasn't used to working with Doctor Who. I got the impression I'd walked into the end of seven years and it was all a bit tense.

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

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

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

I don't think I would have stayed for the second season if I hadn't been happy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would like to direct. What goes on behind stage is very interesting.

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.

Some of those cartoons look nothing like me.

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

We had a very energetic floor manager and he was always jumping around all over the place. The director would send down messages like, Can you tell that actor to calm down?

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.

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

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.

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

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

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I was just a big guy running down with a big, deep pocket and little short stick putting it against my chest.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.

No one will burn out doing aerobic running. It is too much anaerobic running, which the American scholastic athletic system tends to put young athletes through, that burns them out.

Oddly enough, MS has made my life so much better than it was before. I now appreciate what I have and I am not running around like a rat in a maze.

I keep fit by running after my three boys all day.

Romance, like the rabbit at the dog track, is the elusive, fake, and never attained reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles.

And when Roger talks about the frightened ones running away from the bombs, I immediately thought of my days when I was young and I had to wear these gas masks.

What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.

We did a different show every night. We'd open a show, and then two weeks later we'd open the next show. And two weeks later we'd open the third show until we had all eight running. And it was just one of the richest experiences I'd ever had in my theatrical life.

I do to keep things sounding fresh. Sometimes just changing the running order of the show is a good idea.

The records fell easily at first. Dozens of seconds peeled away with every running of a course, and I could hardly wait for the next chance to improve.

For example, I spent a lot of time with Reagan, both before he ran for governor and when he was running for president. As a print reporter without the cameras, I was able to really test the quality of their minds and their knowledge base.

With each game I play, each season I play, everyone would agree with me, I'm running out of chances.

Running became boring because it's so predictable. I got to a point where I knew what my competition could do.

The government gets it right on Head Start. We are providing opportunities for children in underserved areas where parents may not be able to afford preschool so they can begin their schooling with a running or Head Start.

I did try to leave, and she came running after me.
