More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I've been reading the books. It's the origination, it's the primary source. You should always go back to the books.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Conan Doyle is amazing in the way he has Watson describe Sherlock’s posture, mood swings, his hand gestures, and so forth in the novels.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I drag a lot of stuff round with me that I don't need.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I tell my wife all my secrets.
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
Talking about class terrifies me. There is no way of winning.
Benedict Cumberbatch
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
The first time we did cavalry charge I was so breathless with excitement I nearly fell off the horse. I actually saw stars in front of my eyes and thought I was going to faint. The second time I had a bit more control but was still giddy with excitement. And the third time I was an emotional wreck. I had to really try hard not to cry.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm quite surprised by how many people grew up with this character [Doctor Strange ].
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
It's an interesting arc. You start with a character [Doctor Strange] who's likeable and charming but very arrogant and distant. He's funny but you can see there are massive holes in his life. It's a very painful transition and all that he becomes is tested so quickly and violently.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I always seem to be cast as slightly wan, ethereal, troubled intellectuals or physically ambivalent bad lovers. But I'm here to tell you I'm quite the opposite in real life. In fact I'm a f**king fantastic lover.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.
Benedict Cumberbatch
The more charming person is the person who admits the other person is more charming.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I'm all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road.
Benedict Cumberbatch
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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Being someone who is of our sensual reality, Stephen Strange has a lifestyle, he has a sexuality, he's materialistic.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I love the idea of playing something stupid or romantic. I'm not the smartest man in the room. I listen, and I learn, and I observe, but I'm always playing characters with intellects profoundly superior to mine. That's great fun, even though it's as much a fantasy for me as for the people watching me.
Benedict Cumberbatch
When you're a kid, 'Star Trek' is a slower burn. It's funny, it's entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it - which is its universal appeal, I think.
