I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.

You come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It's made me want to live a life slightly less ordinary.

I want to be better at staying connected.

I'll always do 'Sherlock' - it's something I'm not going to give up on.

Anyone who works in the NHS has superpowers. It's a miracle, it is magic.

I play enough other mad people, as well and some sane people, to vary the palette of what's scrabbling around in my head and soul to bring to the floor, as a storyteller.

I've been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I've suddenly realised it is one of life's joys.
