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

Benedict Cumberbatch

I wanted to take the audience on a journey where that transition was funny and awkward. It’s the same cynicism that [Strange] has.

Awkward Journey Transition
Do I like being thought of as attractive? I don’t know anyone on Earth who doesn’t, but I do find it funny. I look in a mirror and I see all the faults I’ve lived with for 35 years and yet people go kind of nuts for certain things about me. It’s not me being humble. I just think it’s weird.

Humble Mirror Thinking
I’ll always do ‘Sherlock’ – it’s something I’m not going to give up on.

Always Giving Help Support Up
I’ve been reading the books. It’s the origination, it’s the primary source. You should always go back to the books.

Book Reading Source
[Scott Derrickson] is terrific, really sharp on the details, and he’s not afraid to go to dark places.

Afraid Dark Details
Even the cerebral characters I play seem to have physical quirks. They’re all “physically inhabited,” for lack off a better expression. For instance, Sherlock Holmes has very particular physical gestures which are drawn out in such detail.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Character Expression Play
I think the characters are supposed to be an open book, blank canvas.

Book Character Thinking
Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn’t a child actor brat; I didn’t travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.

Children Different Parents
The awful lesson of history is that we too often ignore people, just because they’re foreigners or different from us.

Different Ignore Lesson People
I had a very sparse comic upbringing – not because I was being whipped into reading Chekhov and Dickens, but I read Asterix on holidays when I was a kid, and Tin Tin was featured, I remember, for a few years.

Holiday Kids Reading
You 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.

Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.

Adolescence Males School
Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.

Hair Knees Policy Sensitive
I 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.”

Fun Regret Teacher
I try to work hard. I’m really proud of what I get to do as a living. I still pinch myself. But I also know it’s a craft, and I can get better at it and learn every time I do it. So I try to work hard no matter what the task is.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Better Get Hard Trying Work
The world of ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and the world that we live in now is big enough to take more than one interpretation.

Enough World
