• A Dickens character to me is a theatrical projection of a character. Not that it isn't real. It's real, but in that removed sense. But Sherlock Holmes is simply there. I would be astonished if I went to 221½ B Baker Street and didn't find him.

• El solo de saxo tal y como lo conocemos hoy en día no existiría sin Gerry Rafferty. Su clásico de soft-rock de 1978 "Baker Street" tiene que ser el "Ulises" del saxofón del rock & roll, cediendo todo el estribillo al solo de saxo de Raphael Ravenscroft, creando uno de los sonidos espeluznantes más duraderos de los setenta.

• I'm not a detective from Baker Street or an old lady who solves crimes while she's knitting in an easy chair. I'm just a book girl. So I can't make a deduction, only take a flight of fancy--er, forget I said that. I meant, I can only take a guess.

• I remember when I was a kid, I loved Sherlock Holmes. I thought Arthur Conan Doyle was one of the greatest writers, because I felt I knew Sherlock Holmes. He existed to me. When I went to England the first thing I did was go to Baker Street to look for his house. I think you've got to try to make all of your characters as empathetic and realistic as possible.

• But there can be no grave for Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson...Shall they not always live in Baker Street? Are they not there this moment, as one writes? Outside, the hansoms rattle through the rain, and Moriarty plans his latest devilry. Within, the sea-coal flames upon the hearth and Holmes and Watson take their well-won case...So they still live for all that love them well; in a romantic chamber of the heart, in a nostalgic country of the mind, where it is always 1895.

• ¿Por qué todos los empleados y marineros de los trenes parecen tan tristes y cansados, tan tristes y cansados? Yo os lo diré. Es porque saben que el tren va bien. Es porque saben que llegarán a cualquier lugar para el que hayan sacado un billete. Es porque después de haber pasado Sloane Square saben que la próxima estación debe ser Victoria, y nada más que Victoria. ¡Oh, su salvaje éxtasis! ¡Oh, sus ojos como estrellas y sus almas de nuevo en el Edén, si la próxima estación fuera inexplicablemente Baker Street!
