More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
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.

I'm a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I'm all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Laughing and crying are really similar - what happens to your body. It's a very similar process in your diaphragm. Like a musician, you have to do your scales once in a while and warm up your voice.
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
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
When are you ever settled enough to have kids?

I'd love to do a noir. I think Steve McQueen is so cool. But a classic film is a classic film, and perhaps the fantasy of being those characters should be left alone. You're treading on very thin ice.
Benedict Cumberbatch
If people ask, 'Are you Sherlock Holmes?', it's horribly naff, but I say, 'I'm not, I just look a bit like him' - which is how I feel. There are bad attributes of his that I really don't share!
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
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
I want to be better at staying connected.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I had to kiss it [ playing Hamlet] goodbye because Marvel have to plot things for the next three, four years.
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
It still makes me giggle that I'm paid to act.
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
It will be obvious to anyone who sees it that he [Doctor Strange] earns that cloak. You think he's doing all right and then you realise that there's one massive lesson to learn.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.
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.
