More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm quite surprised by how many people grew up with this character [Doctor Strange ].
Benedict Cumberbatch
You have to sometimes just run with the problem rather than trying to solve it with hi-tech wizardry and lots of planning.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think the characters are supposed to be an open book, blank canvas.
Benedict Cumberbatch
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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I tend to have a cup of tea, try to stop worrying about what I did wrong, cool down and will the audience back in as soon as possible.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Only when Stephen Strange has his accident and everything that he's ever had in his life falls apart that he becomes pretty monstrous. It's the self-loathing rage of a wounded animal and he doesn't have a coping mechanism at all. It ties in with the discipline and the magic of this world.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There are moments when, like all of us, you get a bit self-conscious and you'd rather not be living any of your day in public. Those are the awkward times, but you've got to have fun with it.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Live a life less ordinary.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Kevin Feige said to me: I don't think we've ever put an actor through quite as much as this, physically and mentally. I'll wear that as a badge of honour. It was endless.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It's very easy to be cynical about any kind of interference in things that are beyond our skill set.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've realised now that the reality of children is you have to be in the right place with the right person.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Even though Doctor Strange is an established character, when you're doing an origin story there's a lot of room for manoeuvre.
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
This is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven't really experienced any of that. Everyone's been really happy for me, which is really, really great.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Honestly, it's very satisfying, and I'm very, very happy about how successful the last few years have been... It's great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I'm enjoying now.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think it's fair to say that, yeah, I'm playing Doctor Strange, I get there.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Sometimes when you do fight scenes you think, Oh, I'll be hit in the face, because people get carried away with their vanity and want to look too cool to care, but we were all really careful with each other.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[ 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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's still nearly the same amount of slavery, if not more, in the world today, as there was at the height of the slave trade.
