Someone will always hate what I say. There’s always going to be somebody spitting blood about my wooden-faced, toffee-named, crappy acting.
Benedict Cumberbatch
The biggest lesson Stephen Strange learns in this film is it's not all about him.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Do I like being thought of as attractive? I don’t know anyone on Earth who doesn’t, but I do find it funny. I look in a mirror and I see all the faults I’ve lived with for 35 years and yet people go kind of nuts for certain things about me. It’s not me being humble. I just think it’s weird.
Benedict Cumberbatch
When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
Benedict Cumberbatch
For brain surgeons it's particularly difficult to deal with failure. It was fascinating to learn about that whole world.

Benedict Cumberbatch
Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.
Benedict Cumberbatch
If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people's expectations, then you can go mad.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I know that might sound perverse because I played Julian Assange but, honestly, I don't think it would be fair for me to judge the man. I realize that makes me a bit of a hypocrite because I was portraying him a certain way, but we were always open to the fact that this was an interpretation, not any kind of exact evidence of who the man was.
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
My first agent dissuaded me from calling myself 'Cumberbatch.' I had six months of not very productive time with her, so I changed agents. The new one said, 'Why aren't you using your family name? It's a real attention-grabber.' I worried, 'How much is it going to cost to put my name in lights?' But then I decided that's not my problem.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Talking about class terrifies me. There is no way of winning.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I suppose my bodily proportions are quite flattering. I'm ripped, doing something I wouldn't normally do with my body, or having done to it, involving Watson.
