More quotes by 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
I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
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
Sherlock [Holmes] is on the side of the angels, but don't think he's one of them. He uses similar means, but it seems to be for a better purpose, one would hope.

When you're a kid, 'Star Trek' is a slower burn. It's funny, it's entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it - which is its universal appeal, I think.
Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch
I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.
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 think the characters are supposed to be an open book, blank canvas.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It's very easy to be cynical about any kind of interference in things that are beyond our skill set.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I have memories of clouds whisking by while sitting in the pushchair on the roof of my parents' flat. I loved it! I just loved staring at the clouds and dreaming away.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Mum did a lot of commercial theatre and farces in the 1980s and '90s to make sure the school bills were paid.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I don't call myself an expert because I've played experts. I know a little bit about very little. But it's very hard to not be drawn into saying something, especially if it has to do with the work.
Benedict Cumberbatch
My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.
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.
