Being on set is quite difficult, because it's so big and you've got to try and relax, which isn't easy when you know you're in a massive film. I was terrified for quite a long time.

I can’t stop traffic on Fifth Avenue, not unless I walk in front of an oncoming cab.

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.

I like to think that we’re revolving on this planet and revolving through the galaxy. I love having context that’s so much bigger than I can fathom. It’s fantastic to realise how insignificant you are.

I'll always do 'Sherlock' - it's something I'm not going to give up on.

Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I'm also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.

All the backstories are there but not talked about.
