I feel like I'm away for much of my own life.

It was great. I got to hang out with him [Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins], and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don't know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He's going to be amazing, he's going to be fantastic in this film.

The biggest lesson Stephen Strange learns in this film is it's not all about him.

Every job is incredibly different, and I love it because you're picking up skill sets and experiences. It's the university of life.

It'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think "Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.

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 drag a lot of stuff round with me that I don't need.
