I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera, which I bought for his birthday.

One of my favorite stories was Black Orchid, because it was so different from all the others. I especially enjoyed dancing the Charleston. I have always been keen on dancing.

I thought The Visitation was good fun. We did some of that filming at Ealing on the big set.

When we went to Belfast we saw some beautiful countryside and coastlines.

I enjoyed showing a bit more leg in the last few stories. It was good fun, but it can be quite sexist. But it doesnt worry me personally all that much.

There are generations who watch Doctor Who together.

Before I got Doctor Who, I went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I went back to take the final grade exam, which is the grade you have to take before you can take the teachers diploma.

I went to ballet school for nine years, and there was an agent for the whole school who happened to be there visiting one of the performances. She suggested an audition.

I don't know if you've ever tried writing a Doctor Who story, but it's a lot more difficult than it initially appears, especially if you've got more than one assistant.

The cybermen are good monsters, I think. My earliest memories are of the cybermen from when I used to watch when I was younger. It's nice to have them back.

What I feel is that if one has got to have a murder actually happening in one's house, one might as well enjoy it, if you know what I mean.

Health is the state about which medicine has nothing to say.

No one is exempt from the rule that learning occurs through recognition of error.

Genetic theories, I gather, have been cherished academically with detachment.

Doubt is the tax man pays for the luxury of useless knowledge.

If only Jesus' followers shared his personality. That one shift alone would correct so many of the ridiculous and horrifying things that pass for popular Christianity.

The question really is how do we get Embassy Officers into the minds of the American business community. That is a much more difficult task than understanding a statistical matrix.

I want to make a film about a factory worker.

Jealousy is an ugly emotion, but it tells the truth. You mostly envy those who have what you desire.
