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

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 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.

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.

I had been offered a Hollywood contract before my 18th birthday. It gave me the spark I needed.

I told my father I wanted to play the banjo, and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday, and between that time and my birthday, I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.

The best way to remember your wife's birthday is to remember it once.

It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.

Well, I started conducting kind of by accident. I wanted to give myself a special birthday present for my fortieth birthday, and I was living in San Francisco at the time and I started attending some of the concerts and then simply dropping hints.

This is a wonderful way to celebrate an 80th birthday... I wanted to be 65 again, but they wouldn't let me - Homeland Security.

You know, we'd just had a birthday, he was... you know, he still had a future out of him, and all I can is he was just one of the most beautiful people in the world... a very gifted man, and it's a loss to the world, not just for us.

It is ironic that the one thing that all religions recognize as separating us from our creator, our very self-consciousness, is also the one thing that divides us from our fellow creatures. It was a bitter birthday present from evolution.

With a recent birthday, I've been acting now for twenty years.

On my birthday, I was in Milan for the collections.

I crashed my boyfriend's birthday when I was 12 years old. He didn't invite me and so I showed up.

I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.

I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday.'

My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday, so I said I wanted to read poetry with her.

The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday.
