- Lesley: (Giving her opinion on Midnight her episode of Doctor Who) This Doctor Who is really, really creepy!
  Edit Share Hide
- Lesley: (On her character Sky Silvestri on Doctor Who) There's not very much you find out about her before she gets taken over by something ghastly. So, really, the journey through the character is in playing her being possessed by something extremely unpleasant.
  Edit Share Hide
- Lesley: (On the important lesson she learned from having worked for Max Stafford Clark at the Royal Court) I tend to be attracted to good writing because that's really what I learnt at the knee of Max Stafford Clark, that as long as the writing's good, you're taken care off.
