No Matter How Big A Name You

I Wasn't Always Such A Great Fan Of Shakespeare, Mind You. I Can Guess We All At One Time Had It Rammed Down Our Necks At School, Which Tends To Take The Edge Off It.

Many Times I've Sat With A Camera And Another Actor And Seen All Their Fears And Insecurities And Struggles. You Want To Support Them And Help Them As Much As You Can.

I Heard The Various Terms Of Abuse At School And Probably Indulged Them In The Way You Do As A Kid.

I Loved Playing [the Doctor], And Taking Part In The Basic Essence And Message Of The Series Which Is, It's A Short Life, Seize It, And Live It As Fully As You Can. Care For Others. Be Respectful Of All Other Life Forms, Regardless Of Colour Or Creed. To Be Part Of That Was Fantastic.

Thank You To Everybody Who Voted For Me, And To The British Public For Their Encouragement Over The Last 17 Years
