I was thrilled with how the first series of 'Sherlock' was received. It was such great fun to film, which makes it so rewarding when something you enjoy is so well received.

More quotes by 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
I have memories of clouds whisking by while sitting in the pushchair on the roof of my parents' flat. I loved it! I just loved staring at the clouds and dreaming away.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I had to kiss it [ playing Hamlet] goodbye because Marvel have to plot things for the next three, four years.
Benedict Cumberbatch
One of the best things about being an actor is that it's a meritocracy.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[Sherlock Holmes] has to understand the world. That's very much John's [Watson] influence on him. But like a lot of the friendships and relationships in that world, it's born out of necessity. It makes him better. There's a pragmatism to it. It's not whimsical or sentimental. It's born out of necessity.
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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I just increasingly enjoy the quiet moments when I can be on my own with my friends and family, or with a book, having a live experience. That's really what I crave, and I always have done.
Benedict Cumberbatch
This is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven't really experienced any of that. Everyone's been really happy for me, which is really, really great.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Landing the role of Stephen Hawking was the most positively surprising thing that has happened to me.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'd shift disciplines, whether it was musical instruments or sports or whatever, and it's the same with that.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
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
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
[Doctor Strange ] is slightly more specialised than Spider-Man or Superman or Batman, but he's very loved by people who know him.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I drag a lot of stuff round with me that I don't need.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Only when Stephen Strange has his accident and everything that he's ever had in his life falls apart that he becomes pretty monstrous. It's the self-loathing rage of a wounded animal and he doesn't have a coping mechanism at all. It ties in with the discipline and the magic of this world.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.
Benedict Cumberbatch
You'd have to be pretty hard-nosed not to feel some sympathy for the guy [Doctor Strange].
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.
