The Ancient One, as you know, is the master, is the Sorcerer Supreme, and [Doctor] Strange comes to learn how to heal himself and The Ancient One has got the knowledge. And so what you're seeing today is a part of the whole training section when he's learning the moves and digging deep. So it's all about that, it's all about trying to push him to get there.

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

I live a soldier's life when I'm working. That's how it feels to me, except I've got a slightly greater chance of survival.

I was just talking to Benedict [Cumberbatch] who's got a little baby and knows his father lives in his phone. We as humans are evolving really fast, so everyday we're hit with that.

I remember when I first started to be photographed, people couldn't understand how it was possible to go around with no eyelashes, no eyebrows. Now it's much more accepted for people not to wear eyelashes or lipstick or whatever they do, but then it was quite freaky. Um, a kind of boiled look.

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

I always think of the word 'abandonment' when I think of the character.
