When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
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

Benedict Cumberbatch
Only when Stephen Strange has his accident and everything that he's ever had in his life falls apart that he becomes pretty monstrous. It's the self-loathing rage of a wounded animal and he doesn't have a coping mechanism at all. It ties in with the discipline and the magic of this world.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's a heroic amount of effort that goes into making him [Doctor Strange] a superhero by the end of the film.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's another weight of us being in the public eye, which is this presumption that, because your work and your promotion work is very public, your private life should be, too.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's no shame in stealing - any actor who says he doesn't is lying. You steal from everything.
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
It'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I don't call myself an expert because I've played experts. I know a little bit about very little. But it's very hard to not be drawn into saying something, especially if it has to do with the work.
