Quotes
I'm a homebody. I love to stay in at night, light a fire, have a whiskey and watch a movie or read a good book.
I don't live beyond my means. I enjoy luxury and I enjoy the privilege of it, when I can afford it, and I'm in the situation where it's been given to me, but I'm very conscious of what is wasteful.
I love theatre, and you learn too much as an actor and enjoy too much of it not to want to go back a lot.
New York City is crazy and beautiful and really close to my heart, and I've always had dear friends here - family, actually, I would say.
I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
The world of 'Sherlock Holmes' and the world that we live in now is big enough to take more than one interpretation.
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 was thrilled with how the first series of 'Sherlock' was received. It was such great fun to film, which makes it so rewarding when something you enjoy is so well received.
Growing up, my dad read it to me, and it was a real treat, a feast for a child's imagination. He did an amazing Smaug, and hobbits, and Gandalf as well - it's the audiobook that will never exist.
