There's a heroic amount of effort that goes into making him [Doctor Strange] a superhero by the end of the film.

I remember very clearly someone saying, 'Don't shake hands with the cactus,' and I thought, 'Well, why not? What could possibly go wrong?' Shaking hands is a friendly gesture.

Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.

I'm a high-functioning sociopath, do your research.

Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.

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.

Being a posh actor in England you cannot escape the class-typing from whatever side you look at it.

If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people's expectations, then you can go mad.

The less respect an older person deserves the more certain he is to demand it from anyone younger.

He turns not back who is bound to a star.

One forms provisional theories and waits for time or fuller knowledge to explode them. A bad habit, Mr. Ferguson, but human nature is weak. Sherlock Holmes speaking with Dr. Watson.

The younger generation is surrounded by the Internet, apps, and video games. But somehow, my books make them read.

Life has become the future.

It took a lot of time and practice for me to realise that there's no point trying to be something you're not.

I moved out eventually of the White House and moved into a townhouse with a group of girls while I was in college.
