I resent having witnessed the survival of some very mediocre male actors and the professional demise of the very brilliant female ones.

I do think it's well over-time to have a female Doctor Who. I think a gay, black female Doctor Who would be the best of all.

Two phrases I hate in reference to female characters are 'strong' and 'feisty.' They really annoy me. It's the most condescending thing. You say that about a three-year-old. It infantilises women.

The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.

When I first entered the corporate world, doing good and making money were seen as separate and contradictory threads. Challenging that notion set my career - and life - on a new course.

We are borrowing money from future generations. We are borrowing the carbon impact, the resource impact from future generations to get stuff cheap now. We have swept the dirt and dust from our society under the carpet - but this carpet is on other side of the planet.

It seems only reasonable that the people have a right to know virtually everything about the personality they are buying each time they put their money through the box office.

I have no doubt in my mind that the new generation has a sense of unity and sensitivity that previous generations lacked. We are strong, and we are visionaries beyond just money.
