When you’re a kid, ‘Star Trek’ is a slower burn. It’s funny, it’s entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it – which is its universal appeal, I think.

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI tend to have a cup of tea, try to stop worrying about what I did wrong, cool down and will the audience back in as soon as possible.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI’ve been broody since I was 12, but I can’t just get anyone pregnant. It has got to be the right person.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH[Doctor Strange] is a really rich character. It’s an easy thing to have a good old meal every day. It’s great. Yeah, I’m excited.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHDoctor Strange is selfish but he’s still saving lives.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI’d shift disciplines, whether it was musical instruments or sports or whatever, and it’s the same with that.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH[ 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 CUMBERBATCHThere’s a heroic amount of effort that goes into making him [Doctor Strange] a superhero by the end of the film.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI know he [Julian Assange] is a man of fierce determination, and now living under the strain of house arrest in the Ecuadorean embassy as a “political exile,” as he calls himself.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHDoctor Strange is an origin story so there’s a certain room for me improving as well as the character improving.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI am very flattered. I have also become a verb as in “I have cumberbatched the UK audience” apparently. Who knows, by the end of the year I might become a swear word too! It’s crazy and fun and very flattering.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHIt’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.
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 CUMBERBATCHIt’s great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I’m enjoying.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH[Doctor Strange ] is slightly more specialised than Spider-Man or Superman or Batman, but he’s very loved by people who know him.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI’ve done a bit of live action before but the fight sequences, the wire work and the physical regime were taken to another level [ in Doctor Strange].
