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

Benedict Cumberbatch

I understand from those who adore him, he [Julian Assange] has a great sense of humor which rarely gets an airing because he’s dealing with such serious issues.

People always want to knock you when you’re up.

[on BBC’s Sherlock] It’s a rare challenge, both for the audience and an actor, to take part in something with this level of intelligence and wit. You have to really enjoy it. It’s a form of mental and physical gymnastics.

You come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It’s made me want to live a life slightly less ordinary.

Being someone who is of our sensual reality, Stephen Strange has a lifestyle, he has a sexuality, he’s materialistic.

Reality Sensual Strange
I 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.

Done Drama Periods
I want to do it all. I want to climb mountains, go through jungles, fight wars in space, get the girl, shoot the bad-guy full of lead, have all the zippy one liners, bulge muscles out of a singlet, drip sweat and blood on screen, all of that.

Fighting Girl War
That’s something I have to work on: to separate what really matters, to conserve energy by not worrying about what other people think.

People Thinking Worry
You’d have to be pretty hard-nosed not to feel some sympathy for the guy [Doctor Strange].

I realised quite early on that, although I wasn’t trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.

I can’t stop traffic on Fifth Avenue, not unless I walk in front of an oncoming cab.

Cumberbatch – it sounds like a fart in a bath, doesn’t it? What a fluffy old name. I can never say it on a Monday morning. When I became an actor, Mum wasn’t keen on me keeping it.

The biggest lesson Stephen Strange learns in this film is it’s not all about him.

I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route.

Acting Drama School
I ate healthily, but there was no snacking, no drinking, no bread, no sugar, no smoking. Afterwards I had a pork belly roast.

Drinking Pork Smoking
It’s an interesting arc. You start with a character [Doctor Strange] who’s likeable and charming but very arrogant and distant. He’s funny but you can see there are massive holes in his life. It’s a very painful transition and all that he becomes is tested so quickly and violently.
