BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI have actual acting scars.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHNot that i had a big arse but even that was toned.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHWhat makes a good animated movie is being able to balance adult and knowing in-jokes and also just out and out funny things that make all people laugh. The idea that it’s actually something that will appeal to a family, that’s the trick.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI’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.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHHonestly, it’s very satisfying, and I’m very, very happy about how successful the last few years have been… It’s great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I’m enjoying now.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI 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?
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!

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHI’ve seen and swam and climbed and lived and driven and filmed. Should it all end tomorrow, I can definitely say there would be no regrets. I am very lucky, and I know it. I really have lived 5,000 times over.
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 CUMBERBATCHI’d love to do a noir. I think Steve McQueen is so cool. But a classic film is a classic film, and perhaps the fantasy of being those characters should be left alone. You’re treading on very thin ice.
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 was the boy that turned a girlfriend into the most celebrated lesbian on television. I got so much stick for that.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCHThe further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.
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.
