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
There's still nearly the same amount of slavery, if not more, in the world today, as there was at the height of the slave trade.

One of the best things about being an actor is that it's a meritocracy.
Benedict Cumberbatch
This 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
I like to think that we’re revolving on this planet and revolving through the galaxy. I love having context that’s so much bigger than I can fathom. It’s fantastic to realise how insignificant you are.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I feel that TV and film feed off each other well. It's more in the perception of the viewer than it is of the actor.
