This is wonderful:
“It’s one of the very few times possibly of all time I actually cried writing something, that sequence there. I was blubbing during writing, I mean the sad stuff doesn’t make me cry when I write it, because I know I’m being manipulative, but a simple declaration of devotion in the manner of a man who simply decided: that is what you do. He’s read it in a book: you state how you feel about your friend. “Right, we’ll do that.” And he does it with with forensic perfection. So he kills you when it happens! And that I think is tremendously powerful. It’s also very key to the character of Sherlock Holmes, because he has no shame in admitting that he can feel that way. When he likes people, he’s perfectly happy to like them. He just, he doesn’t like very many, that’s the truth.”— What was it like to write the best man’s speech?Steven Moffat interview swedish TV
