Any irrational fears?no, i’m quite a rationalist. i’m not superstitious, i think life is too full of natural wonders and logical complexities to worry about illogical things.

Benedict Cumberbatch

I’m sort of focused on my long-term goal of carving out a career that’s for life, rather than being a flash in the pan.

Careers Goal Long
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?

Alternatives Dream Give Up

[Sherlock Holmes] has moved from being someone who was sociopathic, work-obsessed and slightly amoral, into being someone who has a certain degree of a private life, which is very, very private, with The Woman, or Irene Adler.

Certain Degrees Obsessed
You have to sometimes just run with the problem rather than trying to solve it with hi-tech wizardry and lots of planning.

Running Trying Wizardry
The number of people my age, younger now, a whole generation younger, who are fiercely bright, over-educated, under-employed and who are politicised and purposeless really upsets me. It’s soul-destroying.

My dad read The Hobbit to me originally when I was young. So, it was the first imaginary landscape I ever had in my head from the written word. It gave me a passion for reading, thanks to my dad’s performance of the book.

Book Dad Reading
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.

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.

Luxury Mean Privilege
Sherlock [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 CUMBERBATCH

Angel Mean Thinking
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
I never really got obsessed about one thing for long. I was a bit of a butterfly and a magpie.
