There's no shame in stealing - any actor who says he doesn't is lying. You steal from everything.

I tell my wife all my secrets.

We have a lot more unlikely heroes now. It’s not just the guy with guns—it’s the guy with brains.

[Doctor Strange] is still quite cocky by the end of the film. No, I'd say the major curve for him is that he learns that it's not all about him, that there's a greater good. But what he thinks he was doing as a neurosurgeon, that was good because it benefitted people's health was really just a furtherment of his attempts to control death and control his own fate and other people's, but that's still driven by the ego.

It's the same thing, I think, whether it's breathing or meditation or yoga. And running is a great way of doing it.

I had a very sparse comic upbringing - not because I was being whipped into reading Chekhov and Dickens, but I read Asterix on holidays when I was a kid, and Tin Tin was featured, I remember, for a few years.

I've never been front and centre as an iconic American character [like in Doctor Strange]. Day to day, you know you're painting on a very big canvas.
