More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Live a life less ordinary.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've never been front and centre as an iconic American character [like in Doctor Strange]. Day to day, you know you're painting on a very big canvas.
Benedict Cumberbatch
One of the best things about being an actor is that it's a meritocracy.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.
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
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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I have actual acting scars.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm quite surprised by how many people grew up with this character [Doctor Strange ].

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 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
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'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
[Scott Derrickson] is terrific, really sharp on the details, and he's not afraid to go to dark places.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was very nervous about doing the Entertainment Weekly cover, because I thought, Okay, this is the first taste, this is the first visual moment. By then I obviously knew a lot of the more iconic moments in his comic history, but still it's me. It's not a drawing, it's not an artist it's me and I'm kinda frightened, but it seemed to go down.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Any privacy in public is a hard thing to negotiate.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Mum did a lot of commercial theatre and farces in the 1980s and '90s to make sure the school bills were paid.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think the characters are supposed to be an open book, blank canvas.
