It was great. I got to hang out with him [Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins], and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don't know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He's going to be amazing, he's going to be fantastic in this film.

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
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
I want to do it all. I want to climb mountains, go through jungles, fight wars in space, get the girl, shoot the bad-guy full of lead, have all the zippy one liners, bulge muscles out of a singlet, drip sweat and blood on screen, all of that.
Benedict Cumberbatch

I try to work hard. I'm really proud of what I get to do as a living. I still pinch myself. But I also know it's a craft, and I can get better at it and learn every time I do it. So I try to work hard no matter what the task is.
