I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They're about other people.

Actor is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven't really experienced any of that. Everyone's been really happy for me, which is really, really great.

Any privacy in public is a hard thing to negotiate.

I had the privilege of being able to choose, or at least have the opportunity to work at, being anything but an actor.

Sherlock [Holmes] is on the side of the angels, but don't think he's one of them. He uses similar means, but it seems to be for a better purpose, one would hope.

I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.

I know that might sound perverse because I played Julian Assange but, honestly, I don't think it would be fair for me to judge the man. I realize that makes me a bit of a hypocrite because I was portraying him a certain way, but we were always open to the fact that this was an interpretation, not any kind of exact evidence of who the man was.
