I don't call myself an expert because I've played experts. I know a little bit about very little. But it's very hard to not be drawn into saying something, especially if it has to do with the work.

Even in cerebral roles that are seemingly intelligent and nothing else, I think it's so important to wrap your characterization in a physical form as well.

I keep myself amused and others confused

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

I'm quite surprised by how many people grew up with this character [Doctor Strange ].

Doctor Strange is an origin story so there's a certain room for me improving as well as the character improving.
