I am shortsighted. I need glasses for watching movies or concerts. It’s not a hipster affectation; I do have poor eyesight. This is how ridiculous my life is: I’ve had the test for contact lenses, but I haven’t found a half-day where I can go to the optician.

Benedict Cumberbatch

I want to be better at staying connected.

Connected Staying Want
What 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.

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

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.

It’s great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I’m enjoying.

I struggle to learn by rote. I’ve had meltdowns on set. Which is embarrassing and shameful.

Embarrassing Meltdowns Struggle
When you start getting jobs, and see your mates from drama school, you don’t really want to talk about it, because you have this innate sense of guilt that it’s not fair that others aren’t doing exactly what you’re doing. I do have that.

I think playing any iconic role when you’re stepping into big shoes, into the shadow of people who have come before you and you can’t process that.
