More quotes by 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
I’m very excited about all the offers and interest and support pouring in through crowd-funding, and about having a lovely gap coming up when I’ll finally be able to sit down with books and scripts and talk to my partners about how we take the company forward.

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
I think now with fundamentalists, people who treat belief with a total lack of humor or empathy for any other viewpoint than their own - they, to me, are the enemy. And those people are born out of desperate extremes.

I'm aware of [Doctor Strange] place within the comic pantheon of it all, the Marvelverse, but I don't email saying, When are we doing next film? I'm excited to see.

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
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
My massive motivation in life is to make parents proud. But even that has to stop at a point.
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
[Doctor Strange] gets scraped off the floor and then thrown right down to hell again and then slowly pulls himself back up.
Benedict Cumberbatch
The first time we did cavalry charge I was so breathless with excitement I nearly fell off the horse. I actually saw stars in front of my eyes and thought I was going to faint. The second time I had a bit more control but was still giddy with excitement. And the third time I was an emotional wreck. I had to really try hard not to cry.
Benedict Cumberbatch
For brain surgeons it's particularly difficult to deal with failure. It was fascinating to learn about that whole world.
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 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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.
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
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
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
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
I keep myself amused and others confused
