I'm Still Very Sensitive And Wary Of

Sometimes During A Conversation With A Journalist - Where You Are Answering Things You Never Normally Talk About, Not Even With Some Of Your Closest Friends - You End Up Being Quite Confessional, And You Don't Think About The Amplification Of That.

So You Have To Be Really Careful With Your Words.

I Am Very Flattered. I Have Also Become A Verb As In "i Have Cumberbatched The Uk Audience" Apparently. Who Knows, By The End Of The Year I Might Become A Swear Word Too! It's Crazy And Fun And Very Flattering.
