I'd go anywhere to work, so long as it's worth it.

When you're shooting 20-odd episodes in a season, the last thing you want is for each script to be the same tone.

For me, there are two different things that make Sherlock Sherlock. One is, you know, within the books: obviously he's a genius with an attention to detail, his ravenous hunger for all aspects of knowledge that might feed into his work. But the major thing that makes him Sherlock is his relationship with Watson - their friendship. For me, that, I guess, is the biggest side, the more interesting side than the genius.

Some kids are good at math, some kids can run, and acting was an interest of mine. Because I knew you could do it for a living I decided, that's what I'm going to do.

I've never taken myself too seriously, I'm not into that.

I'd go anywhere to work, so long as it's worth it.

I'm a pretty happy person, to be honest with you.
