More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
When I was young I became kind of a party animal. I had a massive crash. My health suffered. I was just overdoing it. That person could not be further from the one who emerged from that earlier experience. I regressed massively.
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.

There are moments when, like all of us, you get a bit self-conscious and you'd rather not be living any of your day in public. Those are the awkward times, but you've got to have fun with it.

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
[Doctor Strange] gets scraped off the floor and then thrown right down to hell again and then slowly pulls himself back up.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm sort of focused on my long-term goal of carving out a career that's for life, rather than being a flash in the pan.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think the characters are supposed to be an open book, blank canvas.
Benedict Cumberbatch
When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
Benedict Cumberbatch
You'd have to be pretty hard-nosed not to feel some sympathy for the guy [Doctor Strange].
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
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
I tell my wife all my secrets.
