Making an effort is polite, and getting ready and looking after yourself makes an event more fun.

I feel more and more at ease, because I think the older I get, the less pressure there is. People say, 'Well, he's not cutting edge because he's not in his twenties, so he's not expected to be.'

I always prefer things straight up, not cold or watered down. Not big on cocktails either.

I've always liked what Thomas More said in Utopia, which is that in Utopia every person is allowed their own lifestyle and religion but no one is allowed to stand on a soapbox and tell others that theirs is right. I thought that was brilliant. Brilliant.

You can compare Holmes and Watson to great Shakespearean characters, in a way. They've been played by hundreds of actors over the years, and each one is a different interpretation - the source material can take that form of interpretation.

I've always thought Prince Charming in Cinderella was the most boring role; I'd rather be the Wicked Witch.
