I'm sort of focused on my long-term goal of carving out a career that's for life, rather than being a flash in the pan.

Kevin Feige said to me: "I don't think we've ever put an actor through quite as much as this, physically and mentally." I'll wear that as a badge of honour. It was endless.

I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.

I love theatre, and you learn too much as an actor and enjoy too much of it not to want to go back a lot.

Because reading is one of the joys of life, and once you begin, you can't stop, and you've got so many stories to look forward to.

Cumberbatch - it sounds like a fart in a bath, doesn't it? What a fluffy old name. I can never say it on a Monday morning. When I became an actor, Mum wasn't keen on me keeping it.

I know he [Julian Assange] is a man of fierce determination, and now living under the strain of house arrest in the Ecuadorean embassy as a "political exile," as he calls himself.
