Laughing and crying are really similar - what happens to your body. It's a very similar process in your diaphragm. Like a musician, you have to do your scales once in a while and warm up your voice.

More quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm not confident in social situations just going up to someone in a bar and saying 'Hi' is going to be even more difficult because they won't know the real me. They will just know me as a fictional person I play on the screen.

I tell my wife all my secrets.

Mystique is rare now, isn't it? There aren't that many enigmas in this modern world.

My first agent dissuaded me from calling myself 'Cumberbatch.' I had six months of not very productive time with her, so I changed agents. The new one said, 'Why aren't you using your family name? It's a real attention-grabber.' I worried, 'How much is it going to cost to put my name in lights?' But then I decided that's not my problem.

We look at science as the ultimate answer for everything yet we are really messy organisms and when the two collide in the upper echelons of medicine you think science will prevail but it's not always that way.

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've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.

It's great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I'm enjoying.

Kevin Feige said to me: I don't think we've ever put an actor through quite as much as this, physically and mentally. I'll wear that as a badge of honour. It was endless.
Benedict Cumberbatch
There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I keep myself amused and others confused
Benedict Cumberbatch
It's very easy to be cynical about any kind of interference in things that are beyond our skill set.

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
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 love the idea of playing something stupid or romantic. I'm not the smartest man in the room. I listen, and I learn, and I observe, but I'm always playing characters with intellects profoundly superior to mine. That's great fun, even though it's as much a fantasy for me as for the people watching me.

I really cannot get over the generosity of our Tibetian teacher. He said, Don't punish yourself. You're going to be a student at a university in the north of England. You need to have your experiences and have your fun, and not judge yourself. Don't live in guilt and regret.

It is a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I just increasingly enjoy the quiet moments when I can be on my own with my friends and family, or with a book, having a live experience. That's really what I crave, and I always have done.
