Look at you lot, you're all so vacant, is it nice not being me it must be so relaxing.

I've been reading the books. It's the origination, it's the primary source. You should always go back to the books.

I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They're about other people.

I'm still very sensitive and wary of people recognising me The only thing that really annoys me is people trying to surreptitiously take a photo on their phone without asking. I feel it's cowardly and a bit pathetic. Just ask me if you really want me to have a photograph with you.

There's a huge amount of footage of Julian [ Assange] online, but he's usually in presentation or defending mode, talking about his cause, or the revelations which Wikileaks have brought about. There's none of Assange relaxing or in private mode. There's none of the personality I tried to give him behind closed doors [in The Fifth Estate ].

Animations are really powerful - it's not just entertainment, it's a very cunning way to get good ideas across.

[ Stephen Strange] is less strange than other characters I've played. He's lost the power to love, which doesn't make him a nasty person. I just think he's closed-off.
