• I'm ready to play anything.
• [on his versatile reputation] I just take what part comes along. It's like a great big lucky dip, it's lovely. Different people see me as different things.

• I think space will be conquered through the mind rather than the clumsy medium of space travel.
• I've played so many different parts in the last 40 years.
• [on Doctor Who (1963)] I believed totally in the possibilities implied in the series. I never thought of it as fantasy. Far from it.
