Christopher Eccleston, Wordmagazine, July 16, 2010.
I treated playing the Doctor with as much seriousness…as if I was doing Hamlet. I really did! You’re making it for the hardest audience of all, children, who have a very developed bullshit detector…I’d asked Rusell [TDavies] for the part. I emailed him. I was out running, and I knew that Rusell was going to do the show and my thoughts started rambling around it. I was thinking, “Time Lord…Time Lord…” The idea came to me that this character was sort of falling through time, that he didn’t have a home.

Christopher Eccleston talks about “Doctor Who.” This is actually really cool, never seen it before. If anyone knows where or when it’s from, please let me know =)
My first doctor! I’m always gonna be glad that I found the first episode playing on abc one night while my parents were out. That I was curious enough to leave it on, not expecting much. ha.
Lovely. Having an English dude and moving to England mid-2005 means that he introduced me to it really quickly and I loved every moment of it. I often feel Eccleston is kind of overlooked, but I loved him. He was my first doctor too! I’ve gone back and looked at some really old stuff (I’ve got Whovian friends), but this is where it all began for me. He’s such a great actor.
This is fantastic. The part about Rose/Billie made me a little misty, I admit. I love how excited he is and how much he obviously loves the part and working with everyone…until he didn’t? (I’m still confused about this…there seems to be conflicting things that I’ve read) It makes me sad that there are only 13 episodes with him.
And when the end finally comes for him, it is so different from the rest, from the Second Doctor’s forced regeneration, from the Seventh Doctor, pleading with human doctors not to administer the electric shocks that would kill him in an attempt to save him, from David Tennant’s famous last words of “I don’t want to go”. Rather, the Ninth Doctor accepts his death with the air of a man who has been waiting for death at every corner, and has made peace with it. Certainly, his main motivation is to save the life of the woman he loves, but there’s a sort of strangely happy resignation to it. He faces his death as a man ready to let go, ready to move on, ready for a change, change he would find in his new form, younger, friendlier, and less haunted by the past. [source]
