More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It's very easy to be cynical about any kind of interference in things that are beyond our skill set.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Any privacy in public is a hard thing to negotiate.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Mystique is rare now, isn't it? There aren't that many enigmas in this modern world.
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
I think playing any iconic role when you're stepping into big shoes, into the shadow of people who have come before you and you can't process that.
Benedict Cumberbatch
As an actor, to be part of that story's [Marvel univerce ] terrific. I've enjoyed it so much as a fan and now I'm getting to have a go myself.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Even the cerebral characters I play seem to have physical quirks. They're all physically inhabited, for lack off a better expression. For instance, Sherlock Holmes has very particular physical gestures which are drawn out in such detail.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I remember very clearly someone saying, 'Don't shake hands with the cactus,' and I thought, 'Well, why not? What could possibly go wrong?' Shaking hands is a friendly gesture.
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
If people ask, 'Are you Sherlock Holmes?', it's horribly naff, but I say, 'I'm not, I just look a bit like him' - which is how I feel. There are bad attributes of his that I really don't share!
Benedict Cumberbatch
Being on set is quite difficult, because it's so big and you've got to try and relax, which isn't easy when you know you're in a massive film. I was terrified for quite a long time.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've gone up two suit sizes. The character I'm playing, he's strong, I can say that much. I've changed my physique a bit, so that requires eating like a foie gras goose, well beyond your appetite. Providing I don't feel too ill, I then work out two hours a day with a phenomenal trainer. It's the L.A. way.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've been reading the books. It's the origination, it's the primary source. You should always go back to the books.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[Doctor Strange ] is slightly more specialised than Spider-Man or Superman or Batman, but he's very loved by people who know him.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was never geeky about anything.
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've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Because reading is one of the joys of life, and once you begin, you can't stop, and you've got so many stories to look forward to.
