I've always been, since I was a little kid, and my son is quite observant, too.

Attention to detail - Sherlock certainly has that, and my memory is pretty good - but not as good as his.

I find that quite enjoyable, trying to see the downsides of someone.

I made some really bad decisions, and I turned a lot of work down and kind of got lost in life.

I'm not great... in large groups of people, but I'm not shy anymore.

I've done a few marathons. I've done a 50-mile one and even a 100-mile one.

For me, the most satisfying time to work with people, and time when it really works, is when you work with directors that are into the truth of any sort of situation.

I really respect the world that Arthur Conan Doyle created and the way that that has been able to be reinterpreted over and over again.

It sounds so incredibly selfish, but you just can't earn the same money doing theater as you can doing television and film. I know that's awful, but you get a mortgage and a family, and suddenly, paying that seems quite important.

There is nothing, not a thing, like the process of creating a character for the stage - you can't get it anywhere else. Unless you're totally method and spend six months living your life like your character for a film, the theater is the place to get that intense acting experience.
