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

Benedict Cumberbatch

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.

Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I’m also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.

Medicine Superpower Thinking
I’ve done a bit of live action before but the fight sequences, the wire work and the physical regime were taken to another level [ in Doctor Strange].

As an actor, you are aware of how a role can seep into your real life.

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Emotional Sometimes Thinking
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.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Humble Mirror 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.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Sherlock being the most prevalent, and they’ve been really good fun.
