More quotes by Colin Baker
I like challenges that test your ingenuity.
Colin Baker
The waves of time wash us all clean.
Colin Baker
It was lovely to do The Knock because I haven't done anything really significant since Doctor Who.
Colin Baker
It's not so much a thankless task, it's more a job with no thanks
Colin Baker
The standard of writing that I'm getting now from 'Big Finish' compares very favourably with some of the stuff I was doing on screen in the '80s.
Colin Baker
I'm an actor. If you had said to me before I started acting that I'd get two bites of the cherry - you would do things that people will remember forever like 'The Brothers' which I did in the '70s and now 'Doctor Who' - I'd have been overjoyed and I still am.
Colin Baker
I've mellowed quite quickly.
Colin Baker
I take every job on its merits.
Colin Baker
I am a big man, but I've allowed my condition to deteriorate by being overweight.
Colin Baker
I was well aware of the fact that once you appeared in Doctor Who as something else, you were ruled out for the part of the Doctor: that was a kind of well known thing in the business.
Colin Baker
One way of watering down the effects of violence is to approach it in a more lighthearted way. I don't mean to say that you laugh when somebody has their arm sawn off, but you can diffuse fear with humour.
Colin Baker
Small though it is, the human brain can be quite effective when used properly.
Colin Baker
As any actor will tell you, the hardest thing to do is small parts, because you focus all your attention and concentration on that small part. When you're playing the lead part, you don't have time to think about the whole of it, so you just have to steam on and get on with it.
Colin Baker
Nobody can fail to lose weight in the jungle, unless they've got a secret stash of pork pies somewhere.
Colin Baker
I loathe cheese, it makes me ill.
Colin Baker
I could, I think, quite easily have gone to Oxford. I got four good A levels, but my father's income was such that I wouldn't have got a grant, and he wouldn't let me go to university, and that was the end of it.
Colin Baker
I hope I'm always convincing when I act!
Colin Baker
