More quotes by 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.

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
I had parents who were working actors, who did really well in their careers, but it was a living. So it was a reality for me growing up it wasn't a fantasy. It wasn't sitting there going, I want to be adored. It wasn't that at all. Not to say that the screams of fans aren't a smile-raiser, but that was never the pull for me.

Only when Stephen Strange has his accident and everything that he's ever had in his life falls apart that he becomes pretty monstrous. It's the self-loathing rage of a wounded animal and he doesn't have a coping mechanism at all. It ties in with the discipline and the magic of this world.
Benedict Cumberbatch
