Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.

Even the cerebral characters I play seem to have physical quirks. They're all "physically inhabited," for lack off a better expression. For instance, Sherlock Holmes has very particular physical gestures which are drawn out in such detail.

To get a horse to hit a mark without a rider, to get it to stand up, to get it to rear, to get it to pick up a bucket and bring it over is amazing. It's hard work and very rewarding but can be dangerous.

Sherlock being the most prevalent, and they've been really good fun.

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

Doctor Strange is an origin story so there's a certain room for me improving as well as the character improving.

If I'm playing someone who's smart, suddenly every character I've played is smart. If I'm playing a bad guy, every character is a bad guy. I suppose it's that thing where people want to see a through-line to understand you. I mean, you know, I have played pretty ordinary people too.
