Top 10 Martin Freeman Quotes
Being a mod is more of a sensibility than a style.
You could say I'm a mod, but with a small 'm'; I don't wear a parka, but I do question what I wear and what I listen to, which is what it's all about.
Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it.
I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.
I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.
I've got a stag weekend coming up and I've said I'm not doing anything more than a few drinks. I won't have it. I'll go home and watch Antiques Roadshow.
Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I'm concerned.

Sherlock and Watson are a love story
Disappointment is an endless wellspring of comedy inspiration.

On the one hand, we're constantly told about recycling and cutting back, and on the other hand we have to buy the next gadget that comes along three weeks after the last one you bought.

Benedict (Cumberbatch, who is playing Sherlock) looks amazing. He's still got a Sherlockian silhouette, with a large overcoat, but in a classic cut.
