More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
We look at science as the ultimate answer for everything yet we are really messy organisms and when the two collide in the upper echelons of medicine you think science will prevail but it's not always that way.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I had the privilege of being able to choose, or at least have the opportunity to work at, being anything but an actor.
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
Conan Doyle is amazing in the way he has Watson describe Sherlock’s posture, mood swings, his hand gestures, and so forth in the novels.
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
I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.
Benedict Cumberbatch
What's not to look forward to? It's like all the actors in all of the films. It's difficult to get Martin Freeman and I in a room together. Imagine what it's like to get myself, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Elizabeth Olsen... these extraordinary actors who all have careers outside the Marvel Universe.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've been broody since I was 12, but I can't just get anyone pregnant. It has got to be the right person.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I realised quite early on that, although I wasn't trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Even though Doctor Strange is an established character, when you're doing an origin story there's a lot of room for manoeuvre.
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.
Benedict Cumberbatch
One of the best things about being an actor is that it's a meritocracy.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It was great. I got to hang out with him [Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins], and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don't know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He's going to be amazing, he's going to be fantastic in this film.
Benedict Cumberbatch
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
Sherlock being the most prevalent, and they've been really good fun.
Benedict Cumberbatch
My own grandfathers were a submarine commander and a 'desert rats' tank operator in the Second World War.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I can’t stop traffic on Fifth Avenue, not unless I walk in front of an oncoming cab.
