I don’t live beyond my means. I enjoy luxury and I enjoy the privilege of it, when I can afford it, and I’m in the situation where it’s been given to me, but I’m very conscious of what is wasteful.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Luxury Mean Privilege
I had the privilege of being able to choose, or at least have the opportunity to work at, being anything but an actor.

Persons Pregnant
This is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven’t really experienced any of that. Everyone’s been really happy for me, which is really, really great.

Jealous People Sometimes
I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.

The world of ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and the world that we live in now is big enough to take more than one interpretation.

Fun Important Out Work
I think it’s fair to say that, yeah, I’m playing Doctor Strange, I get there.

I’d shift disciplines, whether it was musical instruments or sports or whatever, and it’s the same with that.

Discipline Reading Sports
I had a real yearning to make use of the opportunities I had at school. When I heard about the gap year of teaching English at a Tibetan monastery, I knew I had to do something about it really quickly, otherwise it was going to get allocated.

Real School Teaching
It’s one of the things that attracted me to the role [Doctor Strange] is the fact that it’s a really widely origin story, I mean this is part of it, but of course there’s the whole chapter before where he’s the neurosurgeon who has the accident. It’s fantastic.
