Benedict Cumberbatch
I drive a motorbike, so there is the whiff of the grim reaper round every corner, especially in London.

The awful lesson of history is that we too often ignore people, just because they're foreigners or different from us.

Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch
Doctor Strange is selfish but he's still saving lives.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I wanted to take the audience on a journey where that transition was funny and awkward. It's the same cynicism that [Strange] has.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There are other people who don't mind shouting from the pulpit and being judged for it, and they do a hell of a lot of good - real, on-the-ground, life-changing good. So I think it can sometimes be a balancing act.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Kevin Feige said to me: I don't think we've ever put an actor through quite as much as this, physically and mentally. I'll wear that as a badge of honour. It was endless.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I tell my wife all my secrets.
Benedict Cumberbatch
