Maybe it’s because I was an only child, but I’ve always wanted kids.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHMaybe it’s because I was an only child, but I’ve always wanted kids.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI’ve been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I’ve suddenly realised it is one of life’s joys.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHSherlock [Holmes] is on the side of the angels, but don’t think he’s one of them. He uses similar means, but it seems to be for a better purpose, one would hope.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI think it’s fair to say that, yeah, I’m playing Doctor Strange, I get there.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI’m aware of [Doctor Strange] place within the comic pantheon of it all, the Marvelverse, but I don’t email saying, “When are we doing next film?” I’m excited to see.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHYou can perfect genius because genius is not perfection. On his level and his practice and his methodology, it’s almost inhuman. So, that’s been a fantastic arc to play, and boy does it go somewhere in this series.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHAny privacy in public is a hard thing to negotiate.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI really cannot get over the generosity of our Tibetian teacher. He said, “Don’t punish yourself. You’re going to be a student at a university in the north of England. You need to have your experiences and have your fun, and not judge yourself. Don’t live in guilt and regret.”
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI haven’t done period dramas back-to-back, or really anything back-to-back. You get asked to do what you’re most recently famed for, so I’m careful of not repeating myself.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHActor 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.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI’ll always do ‘Sherlock’ – it’s something I’m not going to give up on.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHDo I like being thought of as attractive? I don’t know anyone on Earth who doesn’t, but I do find it funny.
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 CUMBERBATCHNew 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 CUMBERBATCHAs an actor, to be part of that story’s [Marvel univerce ] terrific. I’ve enjoyed it so much as a fan and now I’m getting to have a go myself.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI don’t wear a mask, I don’t have a suit. It’s not some CG double or a stunt double. The suffering the character [Doctor Strange ] goes through is immense!
