People Always Want To Knock You When

Sherlock [holmes] Is On The Side Of The Angels, But Don't Think He's One Of Them. He Uses Similar Means, But It Seems To Be For A Better Purpose, One Would Hope.

My First, Big, Silly Role At School Was As Arthur Crocker-harris In Rattigan's 'the Browning Version,' Where My Job Was To Make School-masters' Wives Weep With Recognition.

One Of The First Roles I Had On Stage Was With A Brilliant Director In A Brilliant Play With A Brilliant Cast, But I Just Couldn't Find My Way Into The Heart Of The Character. I Found Myself Straining A Lot. When It Started. I Felt Lost. That Was The Eugène Ionesco Play Rhinoceros. I Don't Think I Was Prepared For That. I Don't Think I Had The Full Tool Kit To Do It Justice. It's A Very Difficult Play, It's An Extraordinarily Difficult Part, And I Never Felt I Really Got It Right. Far From It. To A Degree, Hamlet Was The Same.

I'd Love To Meet Julian [assange], And Time Permitting, And His Will Permitting, I'm Sure It Will Happen At Some Point. Even Though He's Been Very Critical Of The Film [the Fifth Estate], He's Been Very Polite About Me And My Work, And I Feel The Same Way About Him.

I Have Pitfalls. I Have Emotional Responses To Things That Are Really Not About Me. They're About Other People.
