Politicians are just Daily Mail journalists writ large, aren't they? They're always telling us what's going to happen, and we know they don't know!

Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.

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 think quite often a fate worse than death is life - for lots of people.

Most drama in our lives is really rather squalid.

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 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.

Not only don't I know who I am, but I'm very suspicious of people who do know who they are. I am sometimes ten or twelve people a day, and sometimes four or five people an hour!

I have never described the time I was in Doctor Who as anything except a kind of ecstatic success, but all the rest has been rather a muddle and a disappointment. Compared to Doctor Who, it has been an outrageous failure really - it's so boring.

I am a one success man.

I don't watch television. I know better than that.

I have no regrets about being 'Doctor Who'. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

I really think that reading a whole script is kind of prying and neurotic, don't you?

I think people can believe in anything.

I think quite often a fate worse than death is life, for lots of people.

I used to always be putting my hat on children being photographed and then getting home and discovering I was riddled with lice. That used to happen very, very regularly. I used to get headlice all the time.

I was never really happy until I became 'Doctor Who'.

I wasn't interested in novelty. I was looking for good drama.

I've been involved in one or two successes in classical plays but nothing to touch the excitement and the glamour and the gratification of being a children's hero for so long.

It's funny, in literature no one ever goes to the lavatory.

Lis Sladen was very important to me, you know. When I joined the little world of 'Doctor Who', Lis was already a star.

My capacity as a monk was to passionately believe utter nonsense, and when you're an actor you have to do the same thing. Also, Christianity used to have a lot to do with self-loathing and an acceptance of criticism and things like that which is terribly important for actors.

One longs to be funny, to make people laugh. Laughter is such a sign of approval, isn't it?

The Old Testament is my favourite science fantasy reading.

The thing is I'm very interested in bad taste, as anyone who's ever seen me perform or had dinner with me would know.

We are pre-disposed for fantasy, there is a natural impulse for human beings to want to get off their heads or out of their heads in something in a substance or a drink or an idea or a religion which will comfort them and make life exciting.

Well, I think people don't recognise my face because I'm so much older now, but it is astonishing that people can recognise a voice. I do sometimes get recognised, and indeed a lot of people do come and see me.

Some Christmas tree ornaments do more than glitter and glow they represent a gift of love given a long time ago.

Respect is more than giving consideration of ones feelings. It is showing common courtesy for another human being.

Loving friends let kindness grow in their hearts, creating a oneness with their souls.

A great tribute, is expressing the great love for a Grandmother we share with our children.

I love receiving fan mail.

CBS started to confiscate our packages and mail as a safety procedure. A lot of packages that people send for the holidays and to our kids we can't open. A lot of times they are from overseas. It's very upsetting at times.

Every once in a while, someone will mail me a single popcorn kernel that didn't pop. I'll get out a fresh kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

Twice I had been stopped by these jobs, and I thought the role on Dark Shadows would go on for about three or four weeks. And then, the phenomenon began, the role caught on, the mail started to flood in.

Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail.

In terms of being a role model, I didn't start out to be one. I don't go to work every day with that in mind. But, I do get a lot of fan mail from young girls.

This was all the inspiration it took: We put 100 percent of ourselves in the lines. We personally take care of everything, from fulfillment to answering the mail.

Fan mail is one thing, but fans you meet in person are a different matter entirely.

The Postal Service delivers mail six days a week to nearly 140 million addresses. Every year this number increases by 2 million.

At this point, I think I would garner a lot of hate mail if I was now on the cover of Modern Drummer seeing as I'm not a modern drummer anymore.

My father had all kinds of instruments in the house that he would hide from my mother. He bought them through mail order!

If you want something, it will elude you. If you do not want something, you will get ten of it in the mail.

Our mail product, Hotmail, is the market leader globally.

Who needs fan mail when you have the Internet?

It seems a long time since the morning mail could be called correspondence.

I had a financial page to write in the Mail on Sunday where I'd give tips on shares. I worked there for two and a half years. Nothing compares to the burst of energy felt on a newsroom floor when a big story breaks.
