Quotes[edit | edit source]

"Well, he's an eccentric old hippie, really - and I was an eccentric young hippie! Now I'm old… maybe I'm still an eccentric hippie. There's a wonderful freedom in the eccentricity - you can go places, you can be wacky and you don't have to be constrained. I think that's why people are eccentric - eccentricity is a weapon… and it's great!"
― Sylvester McCoy, Digital Spy
"Well, last summer, Peter Jackson, Fran, and Phillippa flew over, and invited me for tea. So they got me a car, and drove over for tea. I thought it was more auditioning, because I’d screentested for it. But when I got there, they said would you play the part? Would I? No! Of course not!"
