Freema Agyeman Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

On her character Martha Jones: Freema: She's older than Rose, more secure, but she doesn't have a boyfriend. She has her own little flat and her family around her. Rose had only her mum, but Martha has a big family. She isn't looking to the Doctor for guidance or education, she wants adventure. She hasn't kissed her old life good-bye though, and I think she intends to go back to qualify as a doctor. There are funny moments when the Doctor says, 'I'm the Doctor' and Martha says, 'So am I!' She speaks her mind.
