I was happy as an only child, but I've always wanted to be part of a bigger family.

I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.

I wish my 15-year-old self had known about my allure to the opposite sex!

I'll always do 'Sherlock' - it's something I'm not going to give up on.

I'm a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I'm all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road.

I'm interested in art for all. I don't want it to be only the sons and daughters of Tory MPs who get to see my plays.

I'm not loyal to one genre. I want to mix it up.

I'm quite sensitive to people noticing me. There are times when I'm relaxed, then others when it does make me self-conscious.

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

I've been broody since I was 12, but I can't just get anyone pregnant. It has got to be the right person.

I've been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I've suddenly realised it is one of life's joys.

I've realised now that the reality of children is you have to be in the right place with the right person.

If I'd had fame early on, I'd have been able to abuse it in the way that a young man should.

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

It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.

It is a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father.

It'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think, 'Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.'

Landing the role of Stephen Hawking was the most positively surprising thing that has happened to me.

Lines are very difficult to learn.

Live a life less ordinary.
