stress careers miserable
I'm miserable: that's why I have such a bad back, because I'm endlessly stressing out about my career.
holiday ideas heathers
My idea of a holiday was following my family up the hill with my pekinese, who would skip over the heather in front of me.
queens gay class
These awful middle-class queens - which is what the gay movement has become - are so tiresome. It's all Abercrombie & Fitch and strollers.
men thinking clothes
Why are men talking about what clothes they're wearing? It's so unmanly, I think. It's like Versailles before the Revolution, without the style.
world way becoming
I don't accept my business the way it is, to be honest. I don't like what it's become. I don't blame anyone for it becoming the way it has. It's got its own hideous natural progression, just like world events.
becoming humour happened
What's happened to humour? We're becoming American. Everyone gets so angry over everything.
cutting kissing giving
Actors make bad lovers. Their most important kiss is for the camera. Not in a superficial way, in a really deep way. They can only give everything if they know someone is going to shout cut!
character opulence overwhelmed
The opulence of Wilde is a bit too florid for Sherlock, who is a much darker character, ... fascinated by the human condition, but also overwhelmed by it.
character reflection interesting
The interesting thing about Sherlock is that he is himself a reflection of that very English duality. As a drug addict, he is a criminal. But he is also a crime fighter. That makes him an extremely potent character to personify the hypocrisy of a culture that is both moralistic and corrupt.
fun thinking people
I think it's fun playing a part that lots of other people have played, in a way.
actors
I find there aren't that many options as an actor.
lying remember exhausting
The thing about lying is, it is quite exhausting - you have to remember a lot.
thinking actors honest
I don't think many actors are that good, to be honest. I certainly don't think I am.
thinking careers actors
Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out.
