I'll always do 'Sherlock' - it's something I'm not going to give up on.
Benedict Cumberbatch -
I struggle to learn by rote. I've had meltdowns on set. Which is embarrassing and shameful.

Every job is incredibly different, and I love it because you're picking up skill sets and experiences. It's the university of life.

Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.

I'm not confident in social situations; just going up to someone in a bar and saying 'Hi' is going to be even more difficult because they won't know the real me. They will just know me as a fictional person I play on the screen.
