We’re living through a time where we are fighting wars fostered by politics, admittedly not on the same scale as the First World War, but with equally tragic realities for our soldiers and their families.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHWe’re living through a time where we are fighting wars fostered by politics, admittedly not on the same scale as the First World War, but with equally tragic realities for our soldiers and their families.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHOur daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI 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 CUMBERBATCHIt will be obvious to anyone who sees it that he [Doctor Strange] earns that cloak. You think he’s doing all right and then you realise that there’s one massive lesson to learn.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHMetaphorically speaking, it’s easy to bump into one another on the journey from A to B and not even notice. People should take time to notice, enjoy and help each other.

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHEven though Doctor Strange is an established character, when you’re doing an origin story there’s a lot of room for manoeuvre.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI 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 CUMBERBATCHI realised quite early on that, although I wasn’t trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI am a PR disaster because I talk too much.
