More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They're about other people.
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
[Doctor Strange] gets scraped off the floor and then thrown right down to hell again and then slowly pulls himself back up.
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
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
It will be obvious to anyone who sees it that he [Doctor Strange] earns that cloak. You think he's doing all right and then you realise that there's one massive lesson to learn.
Benedict Cumberbatch
When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
Benedict Cumberbatch
I don't wear a mask, I don't have a suit. It's not some CG double or a stunt double. The suffering the character [Doctor Strange ] goes through is immense!
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
If you can't fail, you can never get better.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've done a bit of live action before but the fight sequences, the wire work and the physical regime were taken to another level [ in Doctor Strange].
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
Maybe it's just getting older, but I don't want to miss things.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I am shortsighted. I need glasses for watching movies or concerts. It's not a hipster affectation I do have poor eyesight. This is how ridiculous my life is: I've had the test for contact lenses, but I haven't found a half-day where I can go to the optician.
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
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
I can’t stop traffic on Fifth Avenue, not unless I walk in front of an oncoming cab.
Benedict Cumberbatch
My own grandfathers were a submarine commander and a 'desert rats' tank operator in the Second World War.
Benedict Cumberbatch
We're living through a time where we are fighting wars fostered by politics, admittedly not on the same scale as the First World War, but with equally tragic realities for our soldiers and their families.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I struggle to learn by rote. I've had meltdowns on set. Which is embarrassing and shameful.
Benedict Cumberbatch
