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.

I love Sherlock Holmes. There's still an awful lot to steal from Conan Doyle. But within a tradition you can work in many different ways.

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

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

I live in Leeds, which is about 200 miles north of London, and I get to go and do all the 'Harry Potter' stuff and make great films and be part of this wonderful thing all around the world, and then I get to go home and chill out with my friends in Leeds and go watch the football and go to the pub.

When I think of Sherlock Holmes, I think of a guy who can wander into the confusion of life and sort of pluck out answers at will.

The world of 'Sherlock Holmes' and the world that we live in now is big enough to take more than one interpretation.

Every Sherlock Holmes story has at least one marvelous scene.

My favorite place in the world is the Harry Potter tour near London.
