I was the attention-seeking child in class who needed everyone to look at meee.
Being the first female Doctor and showing children that their heroes in shows don't always look the same is a huge honour for me.
A woman is never going to get to be Bond or Doctor Who. That will never happen.
I'm the type of person that you'd walk past and go, 'I think I went to school with her,' or 'I know her and I can't quite place it.' It certainly isn't, 'I know her full name, and I can tell you who she is.'
As a young girl, I did not think that 'Time Lord' would ever be on my CV.
I've never experienced sexual harassment at work, but I 100% believe and support everyone that has come forward, because I'm very lucky that it has never happened to me.
I 100% want to support the movement, #MeToo and Time's Up. We are a sisterhood.
I am a quiet person's nightmare. The only time I shut up is when I'm reading, because I'm a book geek.
I think my ideal Christmas would be to hang out with my mates.
You will not get me in one second of an interview criticising another actress for a phenomenal performance.
The worst thing about being in the public eye is that journalists write things that you can't control.
As an actress, to get to work on a project where the main focus is the female voice is rare!
I'm not cerebral in any way. Education, for me, was a nightmare. You put someone talking in front of me, and I cannot engage with that. I think that's why I'm an actor; if I can physically be in it, I get it.
I'm opinionated, and I'm comfortable with confrontation. I'm very happy to say if I believe the opposite of what you think.
