Capaldi was speaking during an interview for 100 Questions with Tom Simons, when he was asked why he decided to stop playing the Doctor.
Capaldi added: "We'd had some talks about the direction. I wasn't sure that that was where I wanted to go with the show. And I also thought, I’m not sure I could come up with anything new."

"I love all the Doctors, but I've lost count now of how many of them there are, so the weight of this kind of regeneration is diminished. Whereas when I grew up as a kid, the first time it happened it was: 'What just happened there?' It was mysterious and strange. It holds the mystery of the show, the regeneration."
"That doesn't happen in any other show," he said. "But they have to be taken right to the edge, so it's a very, very powerful death motif."
When Simons suggested this was surprisingly morbid for a family show, Capaldi said: "It is, but it's magical. It's magical, and that's wherein lies the magic of the show."
"It became a different thing," he said. "I think the responsibilities of playing the part became more... there were more of them. There were more things that you had to do rather than just... I mean, I think in the old days, if you were Jon Pertwee or Tom Baker or something like that, you spend most of your year making it and then a bit of your year promoting it.
"It was just a show that some kids really loved, and other kids didn’t care about, but wanted to watch football, or you grew out of. It became this sort of very important thing – I think less in a cultural way and more in an economic way."
