I Wasn't Born Into Land

'sherlock' Fans Are, By And Large, An Intelligent Breed, So They've Gone Through My Back Catalogue And Got What I've Done, Why And How I've Done It. There Is Some Obsessive Behaviour, But I Worry For Them Rather Than Me.

I've Been Very Lucky At What's Happened In My Career To Date, But Playing Something As Far From Me As Possible Is An Ambition Of Mine - Anything From A Mutated Baddy In A Comic Book Action Thriller, To A Detective. If Anything, I'd Like Gary Oldman's Career: He's The Perfect Example Of It. I've Love To Have A Really Broad Sweep Of Characters - To Be Able To Do Something Edgy, Surprising And Unfashionable.

I Just Want To Bring People In A Little Bit To The Idea Of Sitting Down On A Sunday Three Consecutive Weeks And Having That Water Cooler Moment That Really Was A Sort Of A National Sensation In The U.k., 'cause It's Kind Of Fun.

I Think Now With Fundamentalists, People Who Treat Belief With A Total Lack Of Humor Or Empathy For Any Other Viewpoint Than Their Own - They, To Me, Are The Enemy. And Those People Are Born Out Of Desperate Extremes.

I Think What I Loved In Cinema - And What I Mean By Cinema Is Not Just Films, But Proper, Classical Cinema - Are The Extraordinary Moments That Can Occur On Screen. At The Same Time, I Do Feel That Cinema And Theater Feed Each Other. I Feel Like You Can Do Close-up On Stage And You Can Do Something Very Bold And Highly Characterized - And, Dare I Say, Theatrical - On Camera. I Think The Cameras And The Viewpoints Shift Depending On The Intensity And Integrity Of Your Intention And Focus On That.
