billy easy good life love terms watching work
I love watching Billy Bob, just as a punter anyway. I like his work. But working with him is really easy and really straight-forward. He's immediately good. He doesn't have to work up to it. He doesn't make your life difficult. He listens. He's a very good listener, in terms of his acting.
breeds friendship love marriage
Like any friendship or marriage, familiarity breeds more contempt, and love, and everything.
job love people priority
My main priority in any job is when is the soonest I can get back to the three people I love most in the world.
love
I love eating. I mean, I really, really love eating.
job love supposed
As soon as a job finishes, I am done with it. When I'm really, really enjoying the job, I love the job, I want it to end because it's supposed to.

conference life love press quiet
I like the quiet life sometimes. I also love a bustling press conference sometimes as well. I love a 600 metre red carpet.

Although there's an inherent light-heartedness to 'Sherlock,' I slightly err towards not doing the comedy.

In London we give ourselves a pat on the back, rightly, for not killing one another, for our prejudice being subtle rather than lethal.
exactly gandhi impression people whenever
It's always the case, whenever you're doing someone real, how much you want to do an impression or a characterisation. If I was doing Churchill, or Gandhi - people know exactly how they talked, walked.
grown
I hadn't grown up with 'The Hobbit;' I hadn't grown up with 'Lord of The Rings,' anything like that.
creature hard maybe
I've never been to a festival. I'm a creature of habit, mashed-potato comfort, I like rugs. Our sofa's squishy. Maybe too squishy - it's hard to get up sometimes.
arriving ben centre coloured grew lights top
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!'
