Able Abuse Men
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

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

Ends Excited might
It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.

Glimpse Outside People Realize
I’ve been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I’ve suddenly realised it is one of life’s joys.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Clothes Joy Late
We look at science as the ultimate answer for everything yet we are really messy organisms and when the two collide in the upper echelons of medicine you think science will prevail but it’s not always that way.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Medicine Thinking Two
I thought, well, why am I giving up on my primary dream to work doubly hard, to do something as an alternative to what it really still want to?
