When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
I think playing any iconic role when you're stepping into big shoes, into the shadow of people who have come before you and you can't process that.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
I wanted to take the audience on a journey where that transition was funny and awkward. It's the same cynicism that [Strange] has.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
One of the fears of having too much work is not having time to observe. And once you get recognised, there is nowhere for you to look any more. You can't sit on a night bus and watch it all happen.

Image
Maybe it's just getting older, but I don't want to miss things.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They're about other people.

I've gone up two suit sizes. The character I'm playing, he's strong, I can say that much. I've changed my physique a bit, so that requires eating like a foie gras goose, well beyond your appetite. Providing I don't feel too ill, I then work out two hours a day with a phenomenal trainer. It's the L.A. way.

Being someone who is of our sensual reality, Stephen Strange has a lifestyle, he has a sexuality, he's materialistic.

I drive a motorbike, so there is the whiff of the grim reaper round every corner, especially in London.

I am shortsighted. I need glasses for watching movies or concerts. It's not a hipster affectation I do have poor eyesight. This is how ridiculous my life is: I've had the test for contact lenses, but I haven't found a half-day where I can go to the optician.

I'm not confident in social situations just going up to someone in a bar and saying 'Hi' is going to be even more difficult because they won't know the real me. They will just know me as a fictional person I play on the screen.

[Doctor Strange ] is slightly more specialised than Spider-Man or Superman or Batman, but he's very loved by people who know him.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
[Sherlock Holmes] has moved from being someone who was sociopathic, work-obsessed and slightly amoral, into being someone who has a certain degree of a private life, which is very, very private, with The Woman, or Irene Adler.

My massive motivation in life is to make parents proud. But even that has to stop at a point.

The more charming person is the person who admits the other person is more charming.

Image
[ Stephen Strange] is less strange than other characters I've played. He's lost the power to love, which doesn't make him a nasty person. I just think he's closed-off.

It was great. I got to hang out with him [Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins], and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don't know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He's going to be amazing, he's going to be fantastic in this film.

Being on set is quite difficult, because it's so big and you've got to try and relax, which isn't easy when you know you're in a massive film. I was terrified for quite a long time.
