silvertons:
I went to school for 11 years to become a surgeon. I wanted to fix people, take their pain away. And I was good at it. And then I killed someone. So, becoming a sober companion, I could still be involved, you know? But now, you and me – we’re in the punishment business.
silvertons:
This is your third career. You stopped being a surgeon for personal reasons. You stopped being a sober companion because something better came along. It just seemed a prudent time to ask whether your wanderlust had subsided.

“Biology dictates reality. On the one hand, it helps me blame myself less for what I am. On the other hand, I really am no fan of abdicating personal responsibility.”
"In the books, I found him [Sherlock] to be a much more understanding guy. I feel that he really likes people a little bit more than I had seen recently – not that he can necessarily communicate that very well. He likes the underdog, and he likes people who are downtrodden, who are having a hard time. He generally wants to help. I found him to be a much more helpful person, so I tried to put a bit of that in, even though he doesn’t quite pull it off."

Jonny Lee Miller [Hollywood Reporter, 18 June 2013]
In the same interview, Miller also describes how he physicalizes the role of Sherlock Holmes. In particular, he notes, “I wanted him to be quite wild and erratic physically. I felt that that matched his brain; it’s almost what you see in people whose brains are moving very fast, and who are struggling [at the same time]. They often have those characteristics, physically. You don’t want to overdo it, but if you do it regularly, then it seeps subconsciously into the character, and people recognize things”.
An interesting insight of Sherlock from the actor himself.
