I drive a motorbike, so there is the whiff of the grim reaper round every corner, especially in London.

As an actor, you are aware of how a role can seep into your real life.

[Doctor Strange] is still quite cocky by the end of the film. No, I'd say the major curve for him is that he learns that it's not all about him, that there's a greater good. But what he thinks he was doing as a neurosurgeon, that was good because it benefitted people's health was really just a furtherment of his attempts to control death and control his own fate and other people's, but that's still driven by the ego.

I have actual acting scars.

I was the boy that turned a girlfriend into the most celebrated lesbian on television. I got so much stick for that.

Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.

Do I like being thought of as attractive? I don't know anyone on Earth who doesn't, but I do find it funny.
