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 like the constant rise and fall of the British film industry. But above all, I like the workhorses who kept going no matter what.
-
I could make the title of my memoirs: 'It's got cinematic disaster written all over it.'
-
I wake up in the morning, and I go, 'I'm Doctor Who! I'm playing Doctor Who. I'm Doctor Who.'
-
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 never really think of acting and directing as being separate; they are just different expressions of the same thing.
-
I'm not an extravagant man. The fact that I can have a coffee out whenever I want still makes me feel grateful.
-
There are only a handful of really good TV programmes, and I'm blessed to be in one of them.
-
I haven't found anything to complain about. But being Scottish, it won't be long.
-
'Doctor Who' belongs to all of us. Everybody makes 'Doctor Who.'
-
The truth is that I got to Hollywood, and I didn't know what to do once I got there.
-
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.
-
I think the periods of being unsuccessful have made me a better actor.
-
I suppose I just like being arty. That's all. Arty.
-
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 think it's always exciting when 'Doctor Who' touches its past.
-
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.
-
If you put me in a real Tardis, I dread to think what would happen to the universe.
-
I can't imagine I'll be the new George Clooney. That's not really on the cards.
-
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.

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.
