There's another weight of us being in the public eye, which is this presumption that, because your work and your promotion work is very public, your private life should be, too.

If people ask, 'Are you Sherlock Holmes?', it's horribly naff, but I say, 'I'm not, I just look a bit like him' - which is how I feel. There are bad attributes of his that I really don't share!

I wanted to take the audience on a journey where that transition was funny and awkward. It's the same cynicism that [Strange] has.

[Sherlock Holmes] has to understand the world. That's very much John's [Watson] influence on him. But like a lot of the friendships and relationships in that world, it's born out of necessity. It makes him better. There's a pragmatism to it. It's not whimsical or sentimental. It's born out of necessity.

I try to work hard. I'm really proud of what I get to do as a living. I still pinch myself. But I also know it's a craft, and I can get better at it and learn every time I do it. So I try to work hard no matter what the task is.

Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.

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 have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They're about other people.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
It'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.

[Scott Derrickson] is terrific, really sharp on the details, and he's not afraid to go to dark places.
