No one really knows who I am or where I came from in America, and there's something quite nice about that.

If I get a script that's set in the jungle it goes to the bottom of the pile because I don't think the playgrounds are going to be very good there! I'm really aware of how lucky I am but I have the kind of job where I can bring my child to work.

I am from the bush. The bush did not define me. I did not stay in the bush, but I never forgot where I came from.

I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.

I am perhaps unusual in that I came to 'Doctor Who' through the numerous novelisations and not through the television show.

Where I came from, no one was a writer.
