I am perhaps unusual in that I came to 'Doctor Who' through the numerous novelisations and not through the television show.
No one knows who I am and no-one cares. I could jump in front of a camera man and he'd just tell me to get out of the way.
My purpose is to entertain and please myself. I feel that if I am entertained, then there will be enough other readers who will be entertained, too.
I know I am the first female celebrity in the world who has allowed herself to be filmed like that in an operating theatre.
I am a woman who has my extreme vulnerable side and my baggage - and at times I feel extremely weak.
I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.
But then, so far as I know, I am the only performer who ever pledged his assistants to secrecy, honor and allegiance under a notarial oath.
I do have characters who are more well known than I am, which suits me fine.
Do not let anyone else's expectations direct the course of your life. I have discovered happiness in being true to who I am.
I am not a person that is particularly tethered to fashion, which I think is obvious to anyone who's seen me.
I wear tweed jackets and button-down shirts. I am a 1955 graduate of Harvard University who drives a 1968 Mercedes.
I came to declare that I am a friend to Arabs, at a time when it is not easy to be friend to Arabs, because nowadays those who have ambitions and interests would not befriend Arab.
Then there are the people who know me from the lectures. What I am really trying to do, what I need to accomplish at this time, is to fill in the gaps.
Idi Amin: [to crowd at rally] I know who you are and what you are. I am you!
Most days I struggle just to be accepted into the camp of plain old feminists. This is mainly because I am not by nature ideological and generally suspicious of people who are.
People look at me and keep walking - but you can tell they know who I am. I want them to bug me. It's gonna be a sad day when they don't.
I think the biggest things I am looking forward to is getting new faces into the sport. Getting kids who could be afraid of water to feel comfortable in the pool.
My wife and I both love cooking - I am an advanced male - so we argue about who gets to rustle up dinner.
I know that people think of me in terms of Latin music and that's wonderful, that's my heritage, that's who I am, but there's so much more to me and my music.
I don't think shoving my butt into people's faces will tell them anything about who I am. How is that connecting to your audience? What is that doing for your music?
As an actor, it's much easier for me to get work in the movies because nobody knows who I am except for the work that I've done in another movie. I really enjoy that.
