More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Actor 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
[Doctor Strange] gets scraped off the floor and then thrown right down to hell again and then slowly pulls himself back up.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[Scott Derrickson] is terrific, really sharp on the details, and he's not afraid to go to dark places.
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
[ 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
For brain surgeons it's particularly difficult to deal with failure. It was fascinating to learn about that whole world.
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
I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.
Benedict Cumberbatch
You can perfect genius because genius is not perfection. On his level and his practice and his methodology, it's almost inhuman. So, that's been a fantastic arc to play, and boy does it go somewhere in this series.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I drive a motorbike, so there is the whiff of the grim reaper round every corner, especially in London.
Benedict Cumberbatch
My own grandfathers were a submarine commander and a 'desert rats' tank operator in the Second World War.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I drag a lot of stuff round with me that I don't need.
Benedict Cumberbatch
When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
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 realised quite early on that, although I wasn't trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.
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
Do I like being thought of as attractive? I don’t know anyone on Earth who doesn’t, but I do find it funny. I look in a mirror and I see all the faults I’ve lived with for 35 years and yet people go kind of nuts for certain things about me. It’s not me being humble. I just think it’s weird.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm always playing characters with intellects profoundly superior to mine. That's great fun, even though it's as much a fantasy for me as for the people watching me.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm not an overnight success. I've been doing it for 12 years. It's been lovely and varied so far.
Benedict Cumberbatch
