Benedict Cumberbatch
I just increasingly enjoy the quiet moments when I can be on my own with my friends and family, or with a book, having a live experience. That's really what I crave, and I always have done.
Benedict Cumberbatch
When you freefall for 7,000 feet it doesn't feel like you're falling: it feels like you're floating, a bit like scuba diving.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think it's fair to say that, yeah, I'm playing Doctor Strange, I get there.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I had the privilege of being able to choose, or at least have the opportunity to work at, being anything but an actor.
