I was thrilled with how the first series of 'Sherlock' was received. It was such great fun to film, which makes it so rewarding when something you enjoy is so well received.

I want to be better at staying connected.

It's one of the things that attracted me to the role [Doctor Strange] is the fact that it's a really widely origin story, I mean this is part of it, but of course there's the whole chapter before where he's the neurosurgeon who has the accident. It's fantastic.

Talking about class terrifies me. There is no way of winning.

I struggle to learn by rote. I've had meltdowns on set. Which is embarrassing and shameful.

I try to work hard. I'm really proud of what I get to do as a living. I still pinch myself. But I also know it's a craft, and I can get better at it and learn every time I do it. So I try to work hard no matter what the task is.

For brain surgeons it's particularly difficult to deal with failure. It was fascinating to learn about that whole world.
