Everybody loves monsters.

The thing that runs through the British film industry even today is a lot of unsung movies are financially the bigger ones. Even though they weren't always the greatest of movies, something in them was very potent which people loved.
Peter Capaldi -
Being asked to play 'The Doctor' is an amazing privilege. Like the Doctor himself I find myself in a state of utter terror and delight. I can't wait to get started.

Why can't jazz musicians just leave a melody alone?

If people enjoy my profile from the privacy of their own home, that's entirely up to you.

I've had very bleak experiences in hospitals, but they were also sometimes very funny.

The nurses' job is emotional and distressing. Their day-to-day work is dealing with people withering and falling to pieces. So black humour is essential for them cope with that. It's just a consequence of their environment.
Peter Capaldi -
I didn't want to be Doctor Who in a 'Doctor Who' that I didn't like.

I'm not terribly well read. My wife forces books into my hands and insists I read them, which I'm grateful to her for. She made me read 'War and Peace.' The whole thing. It was amazing, but I had to hide it. You can't walk round reading 'War and Peace' - it's like you're in a comedy sketch and you think you're smart.

I have a fairly normal domestic life.

The best advice is to get on with it. I'm very prone to falling into depressions - not clinical, just 'can't be bothered.' It's such a waste of time.

My family know not to get me any tech for Christmas. I can never get it to work, and it all becomes very tearful and pressurised.

The difference between movies and TV is that in TV you have to have a trauma every week, but that event may not be the biggest event in the characters' lives.

Even if I hadn't been cast as Doctor Who, my acting would probably have been influenced by William Hartnell or Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and all of the other guys. Because those were the actors that I really watched every moment of, as opposed to Laurence Olivier.
Peter Capaldi -
I don't like parties. There was never a party I was at where I didn't wish I was somewhere else.

Every viewer who ever turned on 'Doctor Who' has taken him into his heart. He belongs to all of us.

'Doctor Who' has a certain amount of showbiz attached to it.
