- Calls Moffat an "astonishing talent" and a "lifelong fan" (OP note: lol) but ultimately can't continue at the rate he's going and says it'll be difficult for the Moff to leave
- Doesn't know if he'll stay past 2017, says it's too early to tell
- Likes new showrunner Chibnall's ideas but isn't certain what'll actually happen
- Still sad about Jenna Coleman leaving the show, says they were close
- On diversity: "[Doctor Who] is at its best when it reflects the culture and the times that it’s in... I think it’s time for us to be more recognizable as being in the 21st century."
- Supports the idea of a female or POC Doctor
- Would love to return to comedy but calls Doctor Who a mix of dark, comedy and strange
