I tend to do yoga before I go on stage, so that keeps me nice and calm.

I've been a 'Doctor Who' fan since I was a wee girl.

Some people have a persona that they bring, and I can't do that. It's just me that you get, I'm afraid.

With some writers, the script looks beautiful on the page, but nobody actually speaks like that.
brilliant lovely malcolm man next peter tones work
I can't wait to work with Peter Capaldi as the next 'Doctor.' I know him from old; he's such a lovely man and will be brilliant in the role. As long as he tones down the Malcolm Tucker swearing.

For me, a great fantasy is real people, a world I recognise, human struggle and magic. You've got to have magic to make a fantasy work. But I like my magic to be subtle. I don't want magic coming out of the hands of wizards. I want it to be pervading, sinister somehow.
