Sexuality is, of course, a great way of having a conversation between people.

If I'd been asked to play an Asian man [in Doctor Strange] I would've shown them Benedict Wong.

A large part of my filmmaking self has to do with my love of being in the cinema audience, and my relationships to what I want to see on the screen, what I have seen on the screen and what I don't want to see on the screen again.

For me, sex is a refraction of the thing about identity. In the sexual contact, which is usually - but not exclusively - between two people, you do retain separate people.

I'm just really old [in Doctor Strange]. Just really, really old. There is I suppose a sort of theme tune which I'm really interested in.

Most of us live our whole lives without having an adventure to call our own.

Even beyond sexuality, I'm generally interested in identity.
