I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.

I was basically adventurous, I think I wanted to try everything.

I have nothing to complain about.. except maybe people wondering if a queen like me can be butch-it-up enough to play a convincing straight man.

The opulence of Wilde is a bit too florid for Sherlock, who is a much darker character, ... fascinated by the human condition, but also overwhelmed by it.

I smell of sweat. I don't like people smelling of all these weird things. I think deodorant is disgusting.

I don't think kids should have role models. They're disastrous.

I've done a lot of period stuff but that's mostly because, in England, we get off on a lot of period stuff, but it's not any kind of particular choice. That's where a lot of the work is.
