-
I love pubs and I love pub culture.
-
I talk a lot, and that is probably exhausting.
-
You never forget a trade.
-
I went to football training when I was five because I think my father thought he had two boys.
-
I 100% want to support the movement, #MeToo and Time's Up. We are a sisterhood.
-
I'm a quiet person's nightmare - the only time I shut up is when I'm reading, because I'm a book geek.
-
You will not get me in one second of an interview criticising another actress for a phenomenal performance.
-
I think my ideal Christmas would be to hang out with my mates.
-
I'm not really the type of person that can sit and watch my own performances.
-
When you're a kid, you read about this glamorous acting world, but actually it's really unglamorous.
-
I am a quiet person's nightmare. The only time I shut up is when I'm reading, because I'm a book geek.
-
I'm the type of person that you'd walk past and go, 'I think I went to school with her,' or 'I know her and I can't quite place it.' It certainly isn't, 'I know her full name, and I can tell you who she is.'
-
I was the attention-seeking child in class who needed everyone to look at meee.
-
You don't read many scripts, especially for crime dramas, that feature a strong woman as the central character.
-
As a young girl, I did not think that 'Time Lord' would ever be on my CV.
-
I'm opinionated, and I'm comfortable with confrontation. I'm very happy to say if I believe the opposite of what you think.
-
You want to be a citizen of the world, and then life happens, and you forget to be a citizen of the world; you're a citizen of your own existence.
-
Men and women should be paid equally.
-
As an actress, to get to work on a project where the main focus is the female voice is rare!
-
I'm not famous, which generally is an absolute plus point, but if you're on TV, or someone knows who you are, it can be quite helpful to a certain charity or certain cause.
-
I'm not cerebral in any way. Education, for me, was a nightmare. You put someone talking in front of me, and I cannot engage with that. I think that's why I'm an actor; if I can physically be in it, I get it.
-
A woman is never going to get to be Bond or Doctor Who. That will never happen.
-
I've never been mugged, never really experienced street fear. In fact, I'm the one who gets into arguments because I don't keep my mouth shut.
-
Being the first female Doctor and showing children that their heroes in shows don't always look the same is a huge honour for me.
