I hadn't been there [Comic-Con] before. It's pretty eye-opening, when you haven't been there, just with the sheer amount of fans that are there for different shows and films.

People dressing up as you is always a weird experience. Or sometimes you get the odd person who genuinely believes that you are your character.

But some people just find it difficult to separate that kind of thing.
