New York City is crazy and beautiful and really close to my heart, and I’ve always had dear friends here – family, actually, I would say.

Benedict Cumberbatch

There are moments when, like all of us, you get a bit self-conscious and you’d rather not be living any of your day in public. Those are the awkward times, but you’ve got to have fun with it.

Awkward Fun Self
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.

Character Expression Play
I suppose my bodily proportions are quite flattering. I’m ripped, doing something I wouldn’t normally do with my body, or having done to it, involving Watson.

Body Done Proportion
I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They’re about other people.

Emotional People Response
You come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It’s made me want to live a life slightly less ordinary.

Made Ordinary Want World
Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that.

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

Someone will always hate what I say. There’s always going to be somebody spitting blood about my wooden-faced, toffee-named, crappy acting.

I’m interested in art for all. I don’t want it to be only the sons and daughters of Tory MPs who get to see my plays.

It is a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father.

I’m excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.

Alive Book Reading
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.

Doctor Mean Role
Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn’t a child actor brat; I didn’t travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.
