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.

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.

Sometimes being away, on location, I feel like I'm away for much of my own life. I want to be better at staying connected.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've seen and swam and climbed and lived and driven and filmed. Should it all end tomorrow, I can definitely say there would be no regrets. I am very lucky, and I know it. I really have lived 5,000 times over.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Any privacy in public is a hard thing to negotiate.
Benedict Cumberbatch
My massive motivation in life is to make parents proud. But even that has to stop at a point.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[ Stephen Strange] is less strange than other characters I've played. He's lost the power to love, which doesn't make him a nasty person. I just think he's closed-off.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I haven't done period dramas back-to-back, or really anything back-to-back. You get asked to do what you're most recently famed for, so I'm careful of not repeating myself.
