Unpopular Fandom Opinion?

sensiblecatI thought Christopher Eccleston was awesome as Nine, but I'm getting really fed up with his vague, holier-than-thou remarks about why he left Doctor Who. This, for instance:
A purity or an idealism is essential or you’ll become– you’ve got to have standards, no matter how hard work that is. So it makes it a hard road, really.
You know, it’s easy to find a job when you’ve got no morals, you’ve got nothing to be compromised, you can go, ‘Yeah, yeah. That doesn’t matter. That director can bully that prop man and I won’t say anything about it’. But then when that director comes to you and says ‘I think you should play it like this’ you’ve surely got to go ‘How can I respect you, when you behave like that?’
Does it never occur to him that comments like that make Tennant sound like a total whore? One thing I've always liked about Tennant is that he never, ever, disses others in his profession, not even by implication. It's a rule others would do well to follow.
Or am I just over-reacting to what is, after all, just a silly little TV show? Maybe.
