But there are still so many other roles that I would love to play, and hopefully I'm in a position after 'Doctor Who' to be a bit choosier about which ones I do. I want to play Wonder Woman.

No, I went through a process just like I would any other job in which my agent received the breakdown for 'Doctor Who' and I went for my audition. In the original audition, it said you can bring as much to the character, we're looking for what the actor can bring.
