You don't want your children to look at you like you are anything special other than their dad.

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

Every actor is riddled with insecurity, of course. But weirdly, I don't really find that I'd be daunted with taking on roles or anything.

When I wear jeans I want to look like a man, not a child.

Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it.

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.
