[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.

You'd have to be pretty hard-nosed not to feel some sympathy for the guy [Doctor Strange].
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
I remember very clearly someone saying, 'Don't shake hands with the cactus,' and I thought, 'Well, why not? What could possibly go wrong?' Shaking hands is a friendly gesture.

It's very easy to be cynical about any kind of interference in things that are beyond our skill set.

I've realised now that the reality of children is you have to be in the right place with the right person.

We have a lot more unlikely heroes now. It’s not just the guy with guns—it’s the guy with brains.

[Doctor Strange ] is slightly more specialised than Spider-Man or Superman or Batman, but he's very loved by people who know him.

Sherlock being the most prevalent, and they've been really good fun.

My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.

I don't wear a mask, I don't have a suit. It's not some CG double or a stunt double. The suffering the character [Doctor Strange ] goes through is immense!

I'm excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.
