Benedict (Cumberbatch, who is playing Sherlock) looks amazing. He's still got a Sherlockian silhouette, with a large overcoat, but in a classic cut. Watson dresses with an urban elegance, a touch of old school dashing, giving a feeling of both the military and medical profession. I suppose it's something they have in common as well. They're a bit metrosexual.

I have a very extreme state of mind. Things are very black or very white.

I like the idea of not everything happening between two human beings to be everyone's property.

The one thing I've found is that someone always knows more than you do, including your babies. There are loads of things people presume I know about that I don't.

True heroics, obviously, is not the absence of fear, but having that fear and doing something anyway.

Most actors are either a shower of bloody scruffs or think they should dress like Hamlet off stage.

I hate the fact that so much of our life is computerised rather than mechanised.
