There are always challenges to green screen.
Why does everyone have to pretend to be stupid and not know long words?
I think what 'The Hobbit' and Middle-earth deal in are quite universal and timeless themes of honour and love and friendship... so they're things that do resonate with people.
I don't get cast as the guy who steps off a yacht in a white linen suit with a martini.
Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it.
I like the quiet life sometimes. I also love a bustling press conference sometimes as well. I love a 600 metre red carpet.
I always kind of think if The Beatles were still around now, people would've lost interest quite a long time ago. Seven years of recording - it's there forever. I think not outstaying your welcome is a vital ingredient.
Although there's an inherent light-heartedness to 'Sherlock,' I slightly err towards not doing the comedy.
In my life, the strongest evidence of any fandom is 'Sherlock' - 'Hobbit' fans are positively restrained.
Your slippers last a lot longer in your bedroom. On a film set, they do get very scuffed up.
I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.
I have never been in, nor have I had any strong particular desire to be in, what is termed a costume drama, but I keep forgetting to think of 'Charles II' as a costume drama.
You absorb 2,000 years of history just by being near the Thames.
I have no opinion on 48 frames a second at all. I'd be completely unsuitable to talk about that.
Please God, I'll never be in a war zone, but everything I sort of know about people who come back is that it's a hard transition to make. I mean, even if you've not been in a war, even if you've just been in the Forces, you come back and probably have more fights in civilian life.
I grew up in the suburbs, so I remember arriving at Waterloo and seeing Big Ben and the coloured lights on top of the Southbank Centre and thinking, 'Wow!'
Disappointment is an endless wellspring of comedy inspiration.
