Those are more universal things than some of the characters I play, who are slightly sociopathic. I keep reminding people I can do ordinary.

I’m sad in a way that the character [Doctor Strange ] leaves [neurosurgery] behind. It’s an amazing discipline.

Animal Kind Party
[Sherlock Holmes] has moved from being someone who was sociopathic, work-obsessed and slightly amoral, into being someone who has a certain degree of a private life, which is very, very private, with The Woman, or Irene Adler.

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.

People Real Thinking
I was always performing, doing silly voices. The teachers realized I could go one of two ways: be creative or destructive.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Silly Teacher Voice
[ 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

Character Nasty Thinking
[Scott Derrickson] is terrific, really sharp on the details, and he’s not afraid to go to dark places.
