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

I don't live beyond my means. I enjoy luxury and I enjoy the privilege of it, when I can afford it, and I'm in the situation where it's been given to me, but I'm very conscious of what is wasteful.

If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people's expectations, then you can go mad.

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

I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.

You'd have to be pretty hard-nosed not to feel some sympathy for the guy [Doctor Strange].

I would love to just have the work do the talking. We're in positions where people ask us questions; they want to know about more than just the work. And it can go into areas where I've completely shot my mouth off, whether it's too much about my private life or being too opinionated about things in the world. I think the better thing to do - I've learned this from people far wiser than me - is to do very good, quiet work behind closed doors.
