Peter Davison's quotes

  • I followed Tom Baker, I was cast to be different from Tom Baker. So I was my own Doctor, no doubt about that.
  • I must admit I'm a bit old-fashioned and just wait for things to turn up. I really love getting offered a job - although I don't believe it's true until the costume designer rings me up.
  • A drama student is a fantastic thing to be because you can prance around in a long coat, carrying a script under your arm. Then a brutal thing happens - you leave, and realise you are at the bottom of the heap.
  • I just do not buy the connection between screen violence and violence in society. I think it's a feeble excuse for the failings of society.
  • I felt that I had found my home when I did television for the first time, because I felt I understood it. I can't figure out why that was, but I sort of knew when the camera was on. Things like that seemed to have a certain degree of instinct.
  • If I couldn't find a new acting job, I would sit on the sofa for as long as the money lasted. I've no idea what else I could do. I literally can't do anything else. That's why I've stuck with acting for so many years!
  • I never had a problem about going back to Doctor Who (1963) and I don't quite understand people who have a problem going back, albeit temporarily.
  • I have fond memories of All Creatures Great and Small (1978) - it was a great series. I was a BBC newcomer then and it seems like an age ago, but people still watch it. The other day somebody told me it's on the Yesterday channel!
  • They've struggled for many years to write a good companion's part. I don't think they've ever really managed it till Rose, when the series came back.
  • [on The Last Detective (2003)] Dangerous Davies is an unassuming detective, who seems unfazed by anything that is thrown at him. In a way, he is my ideal, because I have to confess I do get irate at times, especially when I'm driving in traffic.
  • [on his favourite Doctor] Mine was Patrick Troughton, yes. I had a similar experience of being in awe when Pat was in The Five Doctors [Doctor Who: The Five Doctors (1983)] - he, more than Jon Pertwee, was my Doctor.
  • My total view of Doctor Who (1963) is that I am playing a part. However, I realise that there is a lot more to it than just acting on the screen. You somehow take on the mantle of the Doctor and a kind of instant charisma goes with the job.
  • [on Doctor Who (1963)] It is really no surprise to me that the programme has been going for such a long time. It is unstoppable now, I think, and has a vast following that just goes on increasing all the time.
  • [on Tom Baker] I don't really understand Tom. He seems perfectly charming but he never seems to want to appear with us and that baffles me. I don't sense hostility but he doesn't want to engage, unlike other former Doctors who are all great friends.
