Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I'm also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.

Benedict Cumberbatch
I remember very clearly someone saying, 'Don't shake hands with the cactus,' and I thought, 'Well, why not? What could possibly go wrong?' Shaking hands is a friendly gesture.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I haven't done period dramas back-to-back, or really anything back-to-back. You get asked to do what you're most recently famed for, so I'm careful of not repeating myself.
Benedict Cumberbatch
The awful lesson of history is that we too often ignore people, just because they're foreigners or different from us.
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
I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.
Benedict Cumberbatch
