Subject: Here is what Moffat says about Sherlock
In reply to: Lij 's message, "I too agree that ...." on Wednesday, February 05, 08:47:33pm

It's from an interview on vulture.com about Sherlock's best man speech:

As Moffat puts it, that’s merely Sherlock “bullshitting.” “He always is. He doesn’t think that at all. He doesn’t think any of those things, but he wants to think that he does, just as he wants to think he’s a high-functioning sociopath,” says Moffat. “He’s not a sociopath, nor is he high-functioning. He’d really like to be a sociopath. But he’s so fucking not. The wonderful drama of Sherlock Holmes is that he’s aspiring to this extraordinary standard. He is at root an absolutely ordinary man with a very, very big brain. He’s repressed his emotions, his passions, his desires, in order to make his brain work better — in itself, a very emotional decision, and it does suggest that he must be very emotional if he thinks emotions get in the way. I just think Sherlock Holmes must be bursting!”

As for "the other one", yes something happened to that person and they all know it in Mycroft's circle, so it must be related to a State issue.
