I just want to bring people in a little bit to the idea of sitting down on a Sunday three consecutive weeks and having that water cooler moment that really was a sort of a national sensation in the U.K., 'cause it's kind of fun.

Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.

I had parents who were working actors, who did really well in their careers, but it was a living. So it was a reality for me growing up; it wasn't a fantasy. It wasn't sitting there going, "I want to be adored." It wasn't that at all. Not to say that the screams of fans aren't a smile-raiser, but that was never the pull for me.

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

My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.

Being on set is quite difficult, because it's so big and you've got to try and relax, which isn't easy when you know you're in a massive film. I was terrified for quite a long time.

It's very easy to be cynical about any kind of interference in things that are beyond our skill set.
