I’ll always do ‘Sherlock’ – it’s something I’m not going to give up on.

Always Giving Help Support Up
It’s difficult because nothing’s preordained by plan and you can’t control it. That’s one of those joys and thrills and nerve-racking realities of being an actor. A lot has to do with luck, no matter what your talent or contribution can be.

Joy Luck Reality
I remember very clearly someone saying, ‘Don’t shake hands with the cactus,’ and I thought, ‘Well, why not? What could possibly go wrong?’ Shaking hands is a friendly gesture.

[ Stephen Strange] is less strange than other characters I’ve played. He’s lost the power to love, which doesn’t make him a nasty person. I just think he’s closed-off.

I’m not an overnight success. I’ve been doing it for 12 years. It’s been lovely and varied so far.

Lovely Overnight Success Years
[on BBC’s Sherlock] It’s a rare challenge, both for the audience and an actor, to take part in something with this level of intelligence and wit. You have to really enjoy it. It’s a form of mental and physical gymnastics.

Actor Challenges Gymnastics
That’s something I have to work on: to separate what really matters, to conserve energy by not worrying about what other people think.

People Thinking Worry
There are things that are a given, that you’ve already established, and obviously, visually, certain iconic things that can’t be completely removed, like a certain hat or a certain coat in my case.

I wanted to take the audience on a journey where that transition was funny and awkward. It’s the same cynicism that [Strange] has.

Awkward Journey Transition
It’s one of the things that attracted me to the role [Doctor Strange] is the fact that it’s a really widely origin story, I mean this is part of it, but of course there’s the whole chapter before where he’s the neurosurgeon who has the accident. It’s fantastic.

Doctor Mean Role
I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They’re about other people.
