You can always expect tragedy as well as adventure; that's just how it goes.

I had a girlfriend before I ever had a boyfriend, but it was just a phase.

All films speak to their times. It becomes obvious only after.

The question I ask myself is: have I really just become a squeamish middle-aged man, or has something happened to the horror genre that shows a growing appetite for watching torture, or at least a desire to explore it on film? And if so, why would that be? I can't pretend I know. I just know I don't like it.

I love going to galleries, particularly the National Portrait Gallery.

The thing is, horror is a big part of 'Sherlock Holmes.' Doyle also wrote a lot of great horror stories, so there's a lot more horror in 'Holmes' that people possibly think of. There's a lot of curses and mysticism and real scares.
