Re: The Big Issue
I thought it might be misunderstood, hence the second sentence. Although for the life of me I don't know how I should have created such an impression.

Or maybe two? I would also take the "original"...

Re: The Big Issue
This is the only place I've been able to find readable scans. PocketBenedict's mum to the rescue. Scroll down a bit then click on the cover. Be careful where you put the cursor or he won't be having any of these imaginary children. 
Some interesting quotes but some seem to have been recycled from other interview, e.g. the "fucking fantastic lover" quote, as if we ever doubted it.

Re: The Big Issue
Part of the interview must to be older as they did it on set in Belgium. He seems more relaxed than in his more recent interviews in which he stresses the superior quality of Parade's End compared to Downton Abbey (which I don't doubt). But that might be part of the promotion, too. I like the interview as a whole and I was very careful with my cursor .

Re: The Big Issue
A conscious decision on his part to do such a big interview with The Big Issue. This organisation needs people like him to help boost their circulation figures, income and awareness of their Big Issue. This is a reflection of Benedict's own awareness of social problems in our society.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Re: The Big Issue
I like that very much about him. There was also the charity reading of children's stories from Africa (sorry, can't remember the exact title) and other occasions in which he participated. And this also fits with his being very aware of having had a very privileged upbringing and being able to change things because or raise awareness about social issues thanks to his growing fame.

It was the interview at the union rally that made me interested in Benedict the actor and not just Sherlock the role...

Re: The Big Issue
I like this interview very much. I agree with ya'll that he wisely takes an advantage of being heard by so many people now. He is aware of the fact that he can influence people's minds and his every word counts.
Moreover I was completely overwhelmed with the phrase "I'm building a home... It would be nice to fill it with love, life and children". Especially the choice of words... he said home , not house. So little difference in words, but so huge difference in meaning .

Sherlock: "I need to get some air, we're going out tonight."
John: "Actually, I've uh, got a date."
Sherlock: "What?"
John: "It's where two people who like each other go out and have fun."
Sherlock: "That's what I was suggesting."

Re: The Big Issue
He also contradicted himself by making it clear he has no ties whatsoever in the moment, and would thus be free to go wherever he wanted.. I reckon they pushed the 'detective looking for a wife' angle a bit to get the fan girls to buy the Big Issue. I am all for that strategy, just saying!
