- (about conventions and his fans): Gareth Thomas: It is extremely hard work, but enormous fun. If I wanted to find out anything about Blake's 7, I'd phone my own fans, because they know more than I do. (laughs)

- (on the question why he was only in two of the four series of "Blake's 7"): Gareth Thomas: I did only two, because I wanted to move on. I didn't want to get totally stereo-typed as - I hesitate to use the word "hero", because that one can't be, not with a face like mine - but no, I wanted to move on, and I went to the Royal Shakespeare Company after that.

- (about demanding and challenging roles): Gareth Thomas: I love a challenge, whether it's a big role or one where I'm cast against type. Orsino wasn't an obvious one for me - I'm not the prettiest actor in the world - but I like that kind of unexpected side of working on a role.
