[Sherlock Holmes] has moved from being someone who was sociopathic, work-obsessed and slightly amoral, into being someone who has a certain degree of a private life, which is very, very private, with The Woman, or Irene Adler.

More quotes by 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 never was obsessive about anything I watched when I was a kid, except maybe 'The A-Team' and 'Airwolf' And I loved 'Knight Rider' and then later 'Baywatch.'
Benedict Cumberbatch
I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.
Benedict Cumberbatch
My own grandfathers were a submarine commander and a 'desert rats' tank operator in the Second World War.
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
Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.
Benedict Cumberbatch
One of the fears of having too much work is not having time to observe. And once you get recognised, there is nowhere for you to look any more. You can't sit on a night bus and watch it all happen.
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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I had to kiss it [ playing Hamlet] goodbye because Marvel have to plot things for the next three, four years.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It's an interesting arc. You start with a character [Doctor Strange] who's likeable and charming but very arrogant and distant. He's funny but you can see there are massive holes in his life. It's a very painful transition and all that he becomes is tested so quickly and violently.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I always seem to be cast as slightly wan, ethereal, troubled intellectuals or physically ambivalent bad lovers. But I'm here to tell you I'm quite the opposite in real life. In fact I'm a f**king fantastic lover.
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
Honestly, it's very satisfying, and I'm very, very happy about how successful the last few years have been... It's great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I'm enjoying now.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'd love to do a noir. I think Steve McQueen is so cool. But a classic film is a classic film, and perhaps the fantasy of being those characters should be left alone. You're treading on very thin ice.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[on BBC's Sherlock] It's a rare challenge, both for the audience and an actor, to take part in something with this level of intelligence and wit. You have to really enjoy it. It's a form of mental and physical gymnastics.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was never geeky about anything.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's a heroic amount of effort that goes into making him [Doctor Strange] a superhero by the end of the film.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was brought up in a world of privilege.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm quite surprised by how many people grew up with this character [Doctor Strange ].
