- Tom Baker: In the end it was not hard to leave the programme. I felt it in my finger-tips that the time had come to move over and give someone else a chance. There was nothing more I could do with it.

- Tom Baker: The programme is like a hovercraft - on a fine line all the time. You don't dare touch the ground. I think it must have been the part of the Doctor that kept me fresh and young. All that fantasy is good for the mind, you know.

- Tom Baker: The Doctor isn't really an acting part. It's a matter of being inventive enough to project credibility to scenes which aren't credible.
