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

When you’re a kid, ‘Star Trek’ is a slower burn. It’s funny, it’s entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it – which is its universal appeal, I think.

I never really got obsessed about one thing for long. I was a bit of a butterfly and a magpie.

It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.

I think I’ve had very knee-jerk emotional reactions to things, and sometimes I’ve said things without thinking. Being overly emotional clouded my judgment.

I’m excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.

When you freefall for 7,000 feet it doesn’t feel like you’re falling: it feels like you’re floating, a bit like scuba diving.

Honestly, it’s very satisfying, and I’m very, very happy about how successful the last few years have been… It’s great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I’m enjoying now.

I want to be better at staying connected.

Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn’t a child actor brat; I didn’t travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.

I wasn’t born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.

I’m a high-functioning sociopath, do your research.

I’m very excited about all the offers and interest and support pouring in through crowd-funding, and about having a lovely gap coming up when I’ll finally be able to sit down with books and scripts and talk to my partners about how we take the company forward.
