How do we identify ourselves, and how do we settle into other people's expectations for our identity?

The last time I did anything like this [special powers] was with the Narnia film with two swords, the same but different.

You can sit next to somebody on the underground, and you can look at them quite intensely, but you can never, ever know what they're wearing under their clothes.

The people I'm working with tend to be people I know, who are my friends, and I like hanging out with them. There's nothing better than making a long-term project with your friends. It's just dreamy.

The only real struggle [in Doctor Strange] was casting spells - learning all these amazing things with fingers, and then remembering what to say at the same time. They would say, 'So you have to put your hands there, not there because the light is going to go [MAKES SOUND] so that kind of masks... but it was all good.

Archetypes are always [in my film-making]. It's sometimes interesting to just flip them a little bit and see the underside.

It's exotic for me to be given a script that's already written, and be given a pay cheque, and asked to dress up and play, and that's all.
