I like the stories with the historical themes.

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.

Running businesses of all sizes and stages, I've seen the challenges companies face in trying to identify, attract, and retain talent.

I'll work with a director if I think I'm going to get into a comfortable situation, and if it's someone I respect and who respects me, even if they're not so well known. Movies are hard to make, and you have to work toward a common ethic and do your best.

I do believe deeply that all human beings male and female are sexual beings most likely bisexual beings channeled this way and that by cultures terrified of boundary crossings without passports stamped gay or straight.

I'm a very independent woman.

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.

Kings are never without flatterers to seduce them, ambition to deprive them, and desires to corrupt them.

I saw the Stones three years ago at the Wiltern Theater in L.A. and that was mind blowing.

If you're in business, and you don't understand how that word of mouth works, you won't be able to take full advantage of it, how to get full adoption by getting that network to talk about you.

I wouldn't dare to speculate as to Cleopatra's falling in love. Her relationships are too convenient for that.

I'm obsessed with jackets.

Writing novels is the most exciting.

I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.

The white man is destroying the world.

No law or ordinance is mightier than understanding.

Christ removed self as the force in His perfect life. It was, 'Not my will, but thine be done.'

I'm not an idealist. I know we're not going to be living in a world that's peace and love all the time. But we can live in a world where we kill each other a lot less.

If you're last in your class at Harvard, it doesn't feel like you're a good student, even though you really are. It's not smart for everyone to want to go to a great school.
