Douglas:(on his character Cromwell Marsh in Gentlememen's Relish) He’s essentially got a good heart but he’s also got his eye on the main chance, he’s ambitious but he doesn’t really know how to get anywhere. But he spots an opportunity to work with Kingdom Swan and then spots another opportunity to make money out of him. But he loves and adores Swann and he wouldn’t harm him for the world. Cromwell Marsh is an opportunist with a good heart basically.
Douglas : (on the character Robert Dunbar in Sea of Souls) My take on Dunbar is that he's a man who can't or won't accept that his wife is dying. He has a power to stop that from happening so he's going to do anything he can to stop it and his morality just goes flying out the window. He’s a decent man who makes the wrong choice or a few wrong choices. So essentially he's a villain but I don't think he's necessarily a bad man.
Douglas : ( on reading the stories about Sherlock Holmes) I enjoyed them so much that I read them all, the novels though possibly not all the short stories,just for pleasure. They are a great read. And obviously I love all the films, Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett were great Holmes.
Douglas: (on playing in large London theatres) Large theatres are just a big black space and a rustle of sweet papers, but in small ones, you get to see the audience.
Douglas: (on the possibility of failure) I don't mind failure or success on a huge level. You don't learn by playing safe - you just get more scared about it the next time. You learn through failing.

Douglas: (talking about his stage work) When you've got an audience, there's a silence in there that you don't find anywhere else. And it's really powerful. People are there listening with you and you're affecting them in some way.
Douglas: (About Nick Cutter) If I was to try and sum him up, he’s reluctantly optimistic. He’s a career scientist – there for the love of the job rather than anything else. He explains to Connor that he’s looking for the bits that Darwin missed. Any possibility of finding something new and interesting and real is his kind of thing. He looks forward to his work. As far as his wife is concerned, I think that’s just one of those big things that certain people have, and have to live with, but I think it makes him slightly open-minded to all these things.
Douglas: (On filming primeval) There was our cameraman sitting on a quad-bike, which was doubling as the Gorgonopsid, chasing us through the woods at 30 miles an hour, and that was the day when I thought "here I am, in the woods, pretending to run away from a 30-foot dinosaur - this is absolutely what I signed up for.
