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.

More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
[Doctor Strange] is a really rich character. It's an easy thing to have a good old meal every day. It's great. Yeah, I'm excited.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I haven't done period dramas back-to-back, or really anything back-to-back. You get asked to do what you're most recently famed for, so I'm careful of not repeating myself.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Mystique is rare now, isn't it? There aren't that many enigmas in this modern world.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think it's fair to say that, yeah, I'm playing Doctor Strange, I get there.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[Sherlock Holmes] has moved from being someone who was sociopathic, work-obsessed and slightly amoral, into being someone who has a certain degree of a private life, which is very, very private, with The Woman, or Irene Adler.
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'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I never was obsessive about anything I watched when I was a kid, except maybe 'The A-Team' and 'Airwolf' And I loved 'Knight Rider' and then later 'Baywatch.'

Being someone who is of our sensual reality, Stephen Strange has a lifestyle, he has a sexuality, he's materialistic.

The armoury of having any academic education does not necessarily set you up for being a good or better actor.
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've gone up two suit sizes. The character I'm playing, he's strong, I can say that much. I've changed my physique a bit, so that requires eating like a foie gras goose, well beyond your appetite. Providing I don't feel too ill, I then work out two hours a day with a phenomenal trainer. It's the L.A. way.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I drive a motorbike, so there is the whiff of the grim reaper round every corner, especially in London.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think playing any iconic role when you're stepping into big shoes, into the shadow of people who have come before you and you can't process that.
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
When I was young I became kind of a party animal. I had a massive crash. My health suffered. I was just overdoing it. That person could not be further from the one who emerged from that earlier experience. I regressed massively.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.
Benedict Cumberbatch
As an actor, to be part of that story's [Marvel univerce ] terrific. I've enjoyed it so much as a fan and now I'm getting to have a go myself.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Even the cerebral characters I play seem to have physical quirks. They're all physically inhabited, for lack off a better expression. For instance, Sherlock Holmes has very particular physical gestures which are drawn out in such detail.
