Happy Birthday Martin John Christopher Freeman! (b. 8th September 1971)

“Really, what I’ve always wanted—even before I knew I wanted it, but now that I’ve got it, I’m extremely grateful for it—is the choice to do lots of different things, regardless of genre, regardless of setting, and regardless of character. I love doing things that surprise me, and I love getting scripts that surprise me and make me think, ‘Oh, I didn’t know I wanted to do that, but now I do.’ I didn’t think, ten years ago, that I’d be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A few years before that, I didn’t think I would have ended up being Dr. Watson. All of this stuff is very surprising, really, and I suppose it’s surprising that I get to exec produce and co-create a comedy show, but I suppose less surprising because I actually did it. It didn’t just land at my door. I was part of the whole thing. But the things that land at your door are really lovely. I’m enjoying now taking more of a creative team role in things, as well. I’m enjoying having a vote. I’m enjoying having a say in who the heads of department are, what the casting is, and who the directors are. I love all of that. You wanna have as much input as you can. Not all of the time. Sometimes it’s just very nice to turn up. Most of the time, I do just turn up and try to do a good job, but whenever possible, if I can steer something, then that’s nice.”

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.
