More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Sometimes being away, on location, I feel like I'm away for much of my own life. I want to be better at staying connected.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think the characters are supposed to be an open book, blank canvas.
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
Even the cerebral characters I play seem to have physical quirks. They're all physically inhabited, for lack off a better expression. For instance, Sherlock Holmes has very particular physical gestures which are drawn out in such detail.
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 had the privilege of being able to choose, or at least have the opportunity to work at, being anything but an actor.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've seen and swam and climbed and lived and driven and filmed. Should it all end tomorrow, I can definitely say there would be no regrets. I am very lucky, and I know it. I really have lived 5,000 times over.

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
There's another weight of us being in the public eye, which is this presumption that, because your work and your promotion work is very public, your private life should be, too.
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'm not an overnight success. I've been doing it for 12 years. It's been lovely and varied so far.
Benedict Cumberbatch
When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've gone up two suit sizes. The character I'm playing, he's strong, I can say that much. I've changed my physique a bit, so that requires eating like a foie gras goose, well beyond your appetite. Providing I don't feel too ill, I then work out two hours a day with a phenomenal trainer. It's the L.A. way.
Benedict Cumberbatch
What's not to look forward to? It's like all the actors in all of the films. It's difficult to get Martin Freeman and I in a room together. Imagine what it's like to get myself, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Elizabeth Olsen... these extraordinary actors who all have careers outside the Marvel Universe.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Do I like being thought of as attractive? I don't know anyone on Earth who doesn't, but I do find it funny.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'd shift disciplines, whether it was musical instruments or sports or whatever, and it's the same with that.
