New York City is crazy and beautiful and really close to my heart, and I’ve always had dear friends here – family, actually, I would say.

Benedict Cumberbatch

I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They’re about other people.

Emotional People Response
I was very keen to work on the script with Scott Derrickson and [C. Robert] Cargill, and working out the important story beats, changing lines, upping the comedy, changing the pace, all of that was great fun.

Do awards change careers? Well, I haven’t heard of many stories where that’s the case. It’s a fun excuse to meet colleagues and celebrate people who’ve done well that year in certain people’s eyes, and it’s nothing more than that.

Book Lovely Support
There are other people who don’t mind shouting from the pulpit and being judged for it, and they do a hell of a lot of good – real, on-the-ground, life-changing good. So I think it can sometimes be a balancing act.

People Real Thinking
People’s hands fascinate me. It’s tempting to look at a businessman’s left hand and see if there’s an indentation from a missing wedding ring. Or maybe there’s a tan line and the skin is pressed down where’s he’s worked a ring off his finger.

I have actual acting scars.

Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that.

Daily Life Mundane Taken
This is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven’t really experienced any of that. Everyone’s been really happy for me, which is really, really great.

I’ve been broody since I was 12, but I can’t just get anyone pregnant. It has got to be the right person.

You let things run in order to have some sanity and be able to do your work and not feel pre-judged.
