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

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.

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

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.

In the studio, if they need to come down to the floor, things are a bit pushy, although it is easier for them to say things directly rather than through about five people.

Certain things in life simply have to be experienced -and never explained. Love is such a thing.

I have met many sacred souls in reading.

Palaces are for the little men not for the great men because great man is humble!

Sometimes people can put way too much emphasis on looking 'hot' which can be stressful and put you in your head.

You could look it up.

We went sailing one time, and he wore a Speedo, and any smart woman should know that means bisexual at least.

I've always heard that women secretly want their father. So I used to walk around in a 1950s business suit, with a hat and a pipe. My opening line would be, 'You should be getting to bed now.'

I like the Wu Tang Clan a lot.

I'm beyond caring what anyone expects of me anymore.
