RTD talks "Torchwood" on Starz

A few excepts:
[Re: Partnering with Starz] "This is the next stage, which is just another partner, where they do have a say and they’re providing a lot of money and a lot of input."
[Re: Negative comparisons to other Starz series] "Of course, as soon as it was announced that Starz was involved, everyone on the net started talking about Torchwood turning into Spartacus: Blood And Sand!
Have you stuck with Spartacus? Because I was a bit off-put by the first two episodes, and then it turns into one of the most marvellous dramas you’ve ever seen.”
[Re: Presenting Torchwood to a new audience] "For faithful viewers you’ll see the same people in the same world, following on. Though it also starts from scratch, because there’s a brand new Starz audience there sitting waiting to be scooped up, new viewers coming to it. But I restarted Doctor Who in 2005 from scratch, so I know what I’m doing."
Now the comment-- this man's ego appears to be expanding towards the terminal stage. I'm concerned.
