“The first time Rachie and I will be working together is on an episode ...” — Diana Rigg Quote

“The first time Rachie and I will be working together is on an episode of 'Doctor Who' specially written for us by Mark Gatiss. How lucky is that?”

“We depend on the critics to give us a glimpse of what happened. Bernard Shaw championed Ibsen, who got the most terrible notices for his plays. Kenneth Tynan championed young writers, and as a result, the theatre has changed radically.”

“Once, when I was playing a nude scene in an indifferent play in New York, a critic wrote, 'Diana Rigg is built like a brick basilica with too few flying buttresses.' Do you think that's fair?”

“As a doctor who took care of patients for 25 years, I saw the problems with America's health care system every day.”

“It would be extraordinary if the BBC were to make me the first black 'Doctor Who;' it would be extraordinary.”

“It's always been my favourite show and I am on a mission to get on 'Doctor Who.'”
