I'd shift disciplines, whether it was musical instruments or sports or whatever, and it's the same with that.
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
My massive motivation in life is to make parents proud. But even that has to stop at a point.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I drive a motorbike, so there is the whiff of the grim reaper round every corner, especially in London.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.
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
Talking about class terrifies me. There is no way of winning.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It still makes me giggle that I'm paid to act.
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
Metaphorically speaking, it's easy to bump into one another on the journey from A to B and not even notice. People should take time to notice, enjoy and help each other.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think with any characterization there's a point where you empathize, no matter how much of a deviance his or her actions may be from your understanding of humanity.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've been reading the books. It's the origination, it's the primary source. You should always go back to the books.
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
Maybe it's just getting older, but I don't want to miss things.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Someone will always hate what I say. There’s always going to be somebody spitting blood about my wooden-faced, toffee-named, crappy acting.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[ Stephen Strange] is less strange than other characters I've played. He's lost the power to love, which doesn't make him a nasty person. I just think he's closed-off.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was very nervous about doing the Entertainment Weekly cover, because I thought, Okay, this is the first taste, this is the first visual moment. By then I obviously knew a lot of the more iconic moments in his comic history, but still it's me. It's not a drawing, it's not an artist it's me and I'm kinda frightened, but it seemed to go down.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think the characters are supposed to be an open book, blank canvas.

Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame.
