More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'd love to do a noir. I think Steve McQueen is so cool. But a classic film is a classic film, and perhaps the fantasy of being those characters should be left alone. You're treading on very thin ice.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I tend to have a cup of tea, try to stop worrying about what I did wrong, cool down and will the audience back in as soon as possible.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I feel that TV and film feed off each other well. It's more in the perception of the viewer than it is of the actor.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Live a life less ordinary.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It is a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father.
Benedict Cumberbatch
When you freefall for 7,000 feet it doesn't feel like you're falling: it feels like you're floating, a bit like scuba diving.
Benedict Cumberbatch
The more charming person is the person who admits the other person is more charming.
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
My massive motivation in life is to make parents proud. But even that has to stop at a point.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was never geeky about anything.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I keep myself amused and others confused
Benedict Cumberbatch
People's hands fascinate me. It's tempting to look at a businessman's left hand and see if there's an indentation from a missing wedding ring. Or maybe there's a tan line and the skin is pressed down where's he's worked a ring off his finger.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's no shame in stealing - any actor who says he doesn't is lying. You steal from everything.
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 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'm quite surprised by how many people grew up with this character [Doctor Strange ].
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've been broody since I was 12, but I can't just get anyone pregnant. It has got to be the right person.
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
It's an interesting arc. You start with a character [Doctor Strange] who's likeable and charming but very arrogant and distant. He's funny but you can see there are massive holes in his life. It's a very painful transition and all that he becomes is tested so quickly and violently.
