I'm not an overnight success. I've been doing it for 12 years. It's been lovely and varied so far.

I'm quite sensitive to people noticing me. There are times when I'm relaxed, then others when it does make me self-conscious.

It's the same thing, I think, whether it's breathing or meditation or yoga. And running is a great way of doing it.

I was brought up in a world of privilege.

I'm always playing characters with intellects profoundly superior to mine. That's great fun, even though it's as much a fantasy for me as for the people watching me.

I've never been front and centre as an iconic American character [like in Doctor Strange]. Day to day, you know you're painting on a very big canvas.

I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
