“The thing about the Doctor is, he’s very inclusive. He doesn’t see the alien in aliens. And I love that about him. And also the fact that’s never at home. He’s a Time Lord, and he’s always always always falling through the Universe. And when I thought about that, I thought I could play that. There’s a kind of a loneliness to it, as well as all the charm and the wit.”

Here we go again. Chris Eccleston speaks and the fan wank begins.
Really? So he’s a cock because he’s up front, honest and truthful? He could have made you all wait and wonder. But no. He said it, gave you a reason and welcomes you to bring him DW stuff to sign. Time to respect his personal opinions and choices and move on. Not doing your favorite TV doesn’t make someone a cock. A cock is someone who makes demands on people they don’t even know in order to satisfy their sci-fi fantasy about a TV show. He’s not your bitch.
P.S. Please spell his name right.

Listen to the whole interview (about 15 minutes) which is so much more revealing than the sparse Doctor Who snippet. Chris talks about the Shadow Line, beer, music, drama school and DW. Worth it. (Begins at 1:30:00)
