Quotes
- "Comedy and sci-fi are two areas where you can be larger than life, without the charge of overacting. My favourite character was the Marquis de Carabas from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. I love that character because he's so flamboyant but also darkly dangerous - and he's also 200 years old. In no other genre can you be believable as an immortal character. I love sci-fi for that."—Paterson JosephBBC: Who Favourite Talks Time Lords (November 20, 2008)
