My own grandfathers were a submarine commander and a 'desert rats' tank operator in the Second World War.

Do I like being thought of as attractive? I don’t know anyone on Earth who doesn’t, but I do find it funny. I look in a mirror and I see all the faults I’ve lived with for 35 years and yet people go kind of nuts for certain things about me. It’s not me being humble. I just think it’s weird.

Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I'm also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.

We're living through a time where we are fighting wars fostered by politics, admittedly not on the same scale as the First World War, but with equally tragic realities for our soldiers and their families.

It still makes me giggle that I'm paid to act.

Even though Doctor Strange is an established character, when you're doing an origin story there's a lot of room for manoeuvre.

One of the best things about being an actor is that it's a meritocracy.

I always seem to be cast as slightly wan, ethereal, troubled intellectuals or physically ambivalent bad lovers. But I'm here to tell you I'm quite the opposite in real life. In fact I'm a f**king fantastic lover.

I'm excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.

[Doctor Strange] gets scraped off the floor and then thrown right down to hell again and then slowly pulls himself back up.

I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
