Most drama in our lives is really rather squalid.
When judging others it’s the intangibles that we often miss.
The thing is I’m very interested in bad taste, as anyone who’s ever seen me perform or had dinner with me would know.
Precious moments are small elements of time, we show and share love and kindness, with those we care about.
I’ve been involved in one or two successes in classical plays but nothing to touch the excitement and the glamour and the gratification of being a children’s hero for so long.
Strive to have sunshine in our hearts each day. It will greatly improve our outlook.
Respect is more than giving consideration of one’s feelings. It is showing common courtesy for another human being.
I used to always be putting my hat on children being photographed and then getting home and discovering I was riddled with lice. That used to happen very, very regularly. I used to get headlice all the time.
The success of a close friend is often wounding, especially if he has been poor for so long.
I never read the scripts at all carefully and never wanted to know what was going on, because i felt that being a benevolent alien, that’s the way it should be.
It’s the end – but the moment has been prepared for.
I wasnt interested in novelty. I was looking for good drama.
You know, you’re a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain.
Friends are like Lighthouses, with the sources of light coming from their hearts.
I have never described the time I was in Doctor Who as anything except a kind of ecstatic success, but all the rest has been rather a muddle and a disappointment. Compared to Doctor Who, it has been an outrageous failure really – it’s so boring.
Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it’s fantastic. It’s a kind of madness really.
Keepers of light carry invisible candles of hope, touching hearts and illuminating the souls of friends.
Brighten someone’s by adding a spoon full of kindness.
I really think that reading a whole script is kind of prying and neurotic, don’t you?
I’m really not an actor of any kind. I’ve always seen myself as an entertainer, someone who makes people laugh. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. ‘Doctor Who’ has always just been me, really.
