More quotes by 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

I am shortsighted. I need glasses for watching movies or concerts. It's not a hipster affectation I do have poor eyesight. This is how ridiculous my life is: I've had the test for contact lenses, but I haven't found a half-day where I can go to the optician.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I have memories of clouds whisking by while sitting in the pushchair on the roof of my parents' flat. I loved it! I just loved staring at the clouds and dreaming away.
