I think all actors experience ups and downs.
-
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.
-
I'm not an extravagant man. The fact that I can have a coffee out whenever I want still makes me feel grateful.
-
Of course I've had my moments of wanting to go back to Scotland, and I almost did a couple of times, but other things just came up.
-
I could make the title of my memoirs: 'It's got cinematic disaster written all over it.'
-
I never really think of acting and directing as being separate; they are just different expressions of the same thing.
-
I'm just physically stupid.
-
I think the periods of being unsuccessful have made me a better actor.
-
There are only a handful of really good TV programmes, and I'm blessed to be in one of them.
-
The truth is that I got to Hollywood, and I didn't know what to do once I got there.
-
I could never plan to have a career that went this well... you know, there were times when it didn't: when it went into the toilet, or ducked, or was difficult to get moving.
-
I suppose I just like being arty. That's all. Arty.
-
I think the nice thing about 'Doctor Who' is whether people like it or don't like it, somewhere, someone loves you and will always love you - and the more everyone hates you, the more they'll love you.
-
If you put me in a real Tardis, I dread to think what would happen to the universe.
-
I think it's always exciting when 'Doctor Who' touches its past.
-
What you're doing is acting with yourself. Well, I'm my favourite actor, so in a way it's quite straightforward for me.
-
I can't imagine I'll be the new George Clooney. That's not really on the cards.
-
I haven't found anything to complain about. But being Scottish, it won't be long.
-
I'm not saying that all politicians are awful. I don't know any of them well enough to say whether they're awful or not. But almost every day, you find out something about them that's appalling. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised any longer.
-
'Doctor Who' belongs to all of us. Everybody makes 'Doctor Who.'

I destroyed all my geek stuff because I didn't want to be a geek, and I regret it to this day. Consumed in the geek bonfire of the vanities was a collection of autographs and letters from Peter Cushing, Spike Milligan and Frankie Howerd, the first Doctor Whos, actual astronauts, and many more.
