Benedict Cumberbatch
I love the idea of playing something stupid or romantic. I'm not the smartest man in the room.

That's great fun, even though it's as much a fantasy for me as for the people watching me.
Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch
I tell my wife all my secrets.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.
Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch
I really cannot get over the generosity of our Tibetian teacher. He said, Don't punish yourself. You're going to be a student at a university in the north of England. You need to have your experiences and have your fun, and not judge yourself. Don't live in guilt and regret.
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
