Zitat des Tages von Colin Baker:
I hope I'm always convincing when I act!
I'm an actor. If you had said to me before I started acting that I'd get two bites of the cherry - you would do things that people will remember forever like 'The Brothers' which I did in the '70s and now 'Doctor Who' - I'd have been overjoyed and I still am.
One way of watering down the effects of violence is to approach it in a more lighthearted way. I don't mean to say that you laugh when somebody has their arm sawn off, but you can diffuse fear with humour.
It was lovely to do The Knock because I haven't done anything really significant since Doctor Who.
If you turn down work because you are frightened of getting typecast, you'll never do anything good.
I never have reservations about doing anything as long as I'm being paid.
I do adore food. If I have any vice it's eating. If I was told I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I could put up with sausage and mash forever.
I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.
Actors love to act all those death scenes.
I could, I think, quite easily have gone to Oxford. I got four good A levels, but my father's income was such that I wouldn't have got a grant, and he wouldn't let me go to university, and that was the end of it.
I loathe cheese, it makes me ill.
I'm perfectly proud of the work I did, looking back at it. I know I've had a bit of a revision since my 'Big Finish' stories came out.
I was well aware of the fact that once you appeared in Doctor Who as something else, you were ruled out for the part of the Doctor: that was a kind of well known thing in the business.
Nobody can fail to lose weight in the jungle, unless they've got a secret stash of pork pies somewhere.
I am a big man, but I've allowed my condition to deteriorate by being overweight.
