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

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

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.

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

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.

'Sherlock' is beautifully done, if I may say so myself. Even if I wasn't in it, I would like the show.

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

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 loved Sherlock Holmes as a kid, but I remember being disappointed when he'd come up with these simple explanations for these complex mysteries.

I was thrilled with how the first series of 'Sherlock' was received. It was such great fun to film, which makes it so rewarding when something you enjoy is so well received.
