I think I've had very knee-jerk emotional reactions to things, and sometimes I've said things without thinking. Being overly emotional clouded my judgment.

More quotes by 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 can’t stop traffic on Fifth Avenue, not unless I walk in front of an oncoming cab.
Benedict Cumberbatch
[on BBC's Sherlock] It's a rare challenge, both for the audience and an actor, to take part in something with this level of intelligence and wit. You have to really enjoy it. It's a form of mental and physical gymnastics.
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'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
It was great. I got to hang out with him [Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins], and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don't know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He's going to be amazing, he's going to be fantastic in this film.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It's great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I'm enjoying.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was brought up in a world of privilege.
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
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
I struggle to learn by rote. I've had meltdowns on set. Which is embarrassing and shameful.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.
Benedict Cumberbatch
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
Sherlock [Holmes] is on the side of the angels, but don't think he's one of them. He uses similar means, but it seems to be for a better purpose, one would hope.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I've done a bit of live action before but the fight sequences, the wire work and the physical regime were taken to another level [ in Doctor Strange].
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
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm still very sensitive and wary of people recognising me The only thing that really annoys me is people trying to surreptitiously take a photo on their phone without asking. I feel it's cowardly and a bit pathetic. Just ask me if you really want me to have a photograph with you.
Benedict Cumberbatch
What's not to look forward to? It's like all the actors in all of the films. It's difficult to get Martin Freeman and I in a room together. Imagine what it's like to get myself, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Elizabeth Olsen... these extraordinary actors who all have careers outside the Marvel Universe.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Sherlock being the most prevalent, and they've been really good fun.
