Benedict Cumberbatch
Talking about class terrifies me. There is no way of winning.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I think with any characterization there's a point where you empathize, no matter how much of a deviance his or her actions may be from your understanding of humanity.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I don't wear a mask, I don't have a suit. It's not some CG double or a stunt double. The suffering the character [Doctor Strange ] goes through is immense!
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was never geeky about anything.
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
It's great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I'm enjoying.
Benedict Cumberbatch
