I think it's fair to say that, yeah, I'm playing Doctor Strange, I get there.

I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.

I have memories of clouds whisking by while sitting in the pushchair on the roof of my parents' flat. I loved it! I just loved staring at the clouds and dreaming away.

I realised quite early on that, although I wasn't trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.

The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.

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.

The first time we did cavalry charge I was so breathless with excitement I nearly fell off the horse. I actually saw stars in front of my eyes and thought I was going to faint. The second time I had a bit more control but was still giddy with excitement. And the third time I was an emotional wreck. I had to really try hard not to cry.
