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.

More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I've never been front and centre as an iconic American character [like in Doctor Strange]. Day to day, you know you're painting on a very big canvas.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It was great. I got to hang out with him [Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins], and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don't know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He's going to be amazing, he's going to be fantastic in this film.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Sherlock being the most prevalent, and they've been really good fun.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I know that might sound perverse because I played Julian Assange but, honestly, I don't think it would be fair for me to judge the man. I realize that makes me a bit of a hypocrite because I was portraying him a certain way, but we were always open to the fact that this was an interpretation, not any kind of exact evidence of who the man was.
Benedict Cumberbatch
You'd have to be pretty hard-nosed not to feel some sympathy for the guy [Doctor Strange].
Benedict Cumberbatch
[Scott Derrickson] is terrific, really sharp on the details, and he's not afraid to go to dark places.
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
It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
Benedict Cumberbatch
We have a lot more unlikely heroes now. It’s not just the guy with guns—it’s the guy with brains.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think now with fundamentalists, people who treat belief with a total lack of humor or empathy for any other viewpoint than their own - they, to me, are the enemy. And those people are born out of desperate extremes.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm aware of [Doctor Strange] place within the comic pantheon of it all, the Marvelverse, but I don't email saying, When are we doing next film? I'm excited to see.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I don't call myself an expert because I've played experts. I know a little bit about very little. But it's very hard to not be drawn into saying something, especially if it has to do with the work.
Benedict Cumberbatch
We look at science as the ultimate answer for everything yet we are really messy organisms and when the two collide in the upper echelons of medicine you think science will prevail but it's not always that way.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.
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
If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people's expectations, then you can go mad.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I tell my wife all my secrets.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I had parents who were working actors, who did really well in their careers, but it was a living. So it was a reality for me growing up it wasn't a fantasy. It wasn't sitting there going, I want to be adored. It wasn't that at all. Not to say that the screams of fans aren't a smile-raiser, but that was never the pull for me.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's a huge raft of roles that actors in our culture perform, and you can see any one of about three Hamlets in a year. It's not something to be completely daunted by.
