I Wasn't Born Into Land Or Titles,

I'm Not An Overnight Success. I've Been Doing It For 12 Years. It's Been Lovely And Varied So Far.

I've Been Very Lucky At What's Happened In My Career To Date, But Playing Something As Far From Me As Possible Is An Ambition Of Mine - Anything From A Mutated Baddy In A Comic Book Action Thriller, To A Detective. If Anything, I'd Like Gary Oldman's Career: He's The Perfect Example Of It. I've Love To Have A Really Broad Sweep Of Characters - To Be Able To Do Something Edgy, Surprising And Unfashionable.

It's An Interesting Arc. You Start With A Character [doctor Strange] Who's Likeable And Charming But Very Arrogant And Distant. He's Funny But You Can See There Are Massive Holes In His Life. It's A Very Painful Transition And All That He Becomes Is Tested So Quickly And Violently.

[sherlock Holmes] Has To Understand The World. That's Very Much John's [watson] Influence On Him. But Like A Lot Of The Friendships And Relationships In That World, It's Born Out Of Necessity. It Makes Him Better. There's A Pragmatism To It. It's Not Whimsical Or Sentimental. It's Born Out Of Necessity.
