Appearing on BBC Breakfast this morning, the Scottish actor admitted: "[I thought] I better take a deep breath and do it or I literally will never leave.
"It's hard when you love something so much and when something is going so well to ever think about moving on. I'd rather go when there's a chance that people might miss me than overstay my welcome."
He added: "I would be there until I was 86 and people would think, 'Is he ever going?'"
Tennant will depart the cult show after the 2009 Christmas special along with producer Russell T Davies.
