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.

More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn't a child actor brat I didn't travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Sometimes when you do fight scenes you think, Oh, I'll be hit in the face, because people get carried away with their vanity and want to look too cool to care, but we were all really careful with each other.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I can’t stop traffic on Fifth Avenue, not unless I walk in front of an oncoming cab.
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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
If you can't fail, you can never get better.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Doctor Strange is selfish but he's still saving lives.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I love the idea of playing something stupid or romantic. I'm not the smartest man in the room. I listen, and I learn, and I observe, but 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
The more charming person is the person who admits the other person is more charming.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm not an overnight success. I've been doing it for 12 years. It's been lovely and varied so far.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They're about other people.
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
Being on set is quite difficult, because it's so big and you've got to try and relax, which isn't easy when you know you're in a massive film. I was terrified for quite a long time.
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
There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.
Benedict Cumberbatch
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
I'm quite surprised by how many people grew up with this character [Doctor Strange ].
Benedict Cumberbatch
I tend to have a cup of tea, try to stop worrying about what I did wrong, cool down and will the audience back in as soon as possible.

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.

Mum did a lot of commercial theatre and farces in the 1980s and '90s to make sure the school bills were paid.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame.
