I took for granted that we have free healthcare. But I have realised what the NHS does, and the people within it who keep it moving, the number of hours they are doing.
Oh my God, I'd love to meet the other Masters in 'Doctor Who'. They're such fantastic actors I'd be slightly in awe of them.
Being of Indian heritage is a challenge - and it's a blessing as well sometimes - because being good isn't good enough. You have to be exceptional to play different characters.
I think I have become wise enough, because I started at a young age and know there are ups and downs in this business - I've realised it's not real.
The generation who will watch 'Not Safe For Work', my generation, don't care who plays a part.
I'd worked with Matt Strevens on 'Adventure in Space and Time' and he's a great friend of mine.
There are certain roles - say, terrorist roles - that if I don't feel like it's something truthful, I'm not going to do it.
That's one of the things I really respect and admire about 'Doctor Who', is that they're always thinking out of the box with the characters they write and the actor they employ to portray them. They're always challenging the stereotypes and peoples' way of thinking.
Doctor Who' has always been a landmark show, but I feel it's becoming an even more landmark show due the stories that are being written, and the actors being cast to represent them.
I love doing projects that flip my last project on its head. And I love the challenge of taking on different characters.
I'm interested in the dark horse. It's too scary being the face of something, unless it's really right. A lot of young actors want to get a lead role, get into Hollywood. I do everything slow and steady.
