“In the next few years I’d love to play a female version of Doctor Who. I know exactly how I would play her – she would be crafty in a clever kind of way.”

I would really love to do a musical, I don’t know in what capacity but something funny.

I am thinking about those things now. More so than all my friends – they’re a lot older than me, but they’re not even thinking about babies.

I’m happy in the UK. I absolutely love it and I’ve finally got a great group of friends. I’ve got a lovely little flat and my work’s here.

The whole size zero debate is disgusting. My sister, who’s 13, looks amazing – but she’s already worried about her figure.

I think Beyonce Knowles got a couple of million for a private show but I would be happy to turn it down.

Yeah, I fancy women big time… I check them out more than I check men out. Maybe I would want to sleep with a woman… Not Beyonce, although I like the look of her, I don’t think she’s that dirty.

I suppose that’s a lot to do with our current climate and financial messes. I certainly see that people seem to have to work harder with a lot less time.

They’re great films but I much prefer the smaller independent films, which are more thought provoking and experimental.

I was freakishly ambitious. I didn’t want to be a child. I wanted my own flat, to work and be a grown up.

I was very similar at 19. I wanted something to happen in life, I wanted a bit more. I wanted to find someone who could challenge my ideas. So I definitely tapped into that.

A musical film is my idea of heaven. You can pre-record, you don’t have to sing live. Singing live was the bit I hated the most. I never felt like a confident singer.

The more things you own, the more people you need to employ.

Weight doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy with yourself.

I wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.

The birth control pill, to a great degree, made possible the (hetero)sexual revolution. Yet those who developed oral contraceptives did not intend their work to promote what the majority of Americans at the time called “promiscuity.”

There’s this old saying that, if you aren’t particularly gifted in natural sciences, if you don’t want to become a teacher or pastor or doctor, and don’t know what else to do, then you become a lawyer. But I’ve never regretted it.

I see people who die a few minutes after a doctor tells them there is no hope of a cure. They give up and go. Others get angry and find joy in proving the doctor wrong. Something within them is challenged and hopeful. Hope is the divine motivator.

Why this character [Doctor Strange] is being introduced, to open up the next chapter. A

I would love to see music reinstated as an essential part of schooling. The culture that it brings; the knowledge that it brings.

I’m sad in a way that the character [Doctor Strange ] leaves [neurosurgery] behind. It’s an amazing discipline.

I don’t wear a mask, I don’t have a suit. It’s not some CG double or a stunt double. The suffering the character [Doctor Strange ] goes through is immense!
