- Colin Baker: I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

- Colin Baker: I'm an actor. If you had said to me before I started acting that I'd get two bites of the cherry – you would do things that people will remember forever like The Brothers which I did in the '70s and now Doctor Who – I'd have been overjoyed and I still am.
  Edit Share Hide
- Colin Baker: I'd enjoyed playing the part enormously; it's not often in an actor's career that he gets a plum part like Doctor Who, and to say that I foresaw myself going on a little longer is a bit of an understatement.
