I love Sherlock Holmes, but I love any of these old stories where the writer was paid by the word, so the adventures just continue forever. They are almost like they were meant to be read out loud.

I think one or two of the later Holmes stories are among the best.

There's something very strange about Sherlock Holmes, especially if you're an English schoolboy. When you read the stories, they stay with you forever.

Certainly going back to Sherlock Holmes we have a tradition of forensic science featured in detective stories.

Every Sherlock Holmes story has at least one marvelous scene.

Whenever I go to England, I'm on pilgrimage. I walk the countryside around Eastbourne because that's where Sherlock Holmes retired.

I always had a soft spot for Sherlock Holmes and used to imagine helping him out.

I think I read too much Arthur Conan Doyle when I was young and got this idea that a gentleman should know a lot about one thing and plenty about most everything else.

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

'Sherlock' is one of the biggest things I will do, ever - we could never have predicted that level of insanity around the series.
