You come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It's made me want to live a life slightly less ordinary. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm not an overnight success. I've been doing it for 12 years. It's been lovely and varied so far. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm not confident in social situations; just going up to someone in a bar and saying 'Hi' is going to be even more difficult because they won't know the real me. They will just know me as a fictional person I play on the screen. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I've been reading the books. It's the origination, it's the primary source. You should always go back to the books. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Being on set is quite difficult, because it's so big and you've got to try and relax, which isn't easy when you know you're in a massive film. I was terrified for quite a long time. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm always keen to use my body in my work, so I'm looking forward to the motion capture for Smaug. Both Gollum and King Kong were primates, whereas I'm playing a serpent, so it'll be interesting - I'll have to tie my legs together, possibly, or else they'll be kind of splayed out to the side as a reptile's should be. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Live Life Less Ordinary ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm not complaining about my cell phone - all my friends are in there, and all my favorite songs and all my favorite Benedict Cumberbatch GIFs; I don't want to give it up. But cell phones are the worst for talking on the phone. ~ Rainbow Rowell
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Rainbow Rowell
Or we can settle in and watch every single episode of Sherlock." "Now you're talking." Benedict Cumberbatch is my homeboy. ~ Autumn Doughton
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Autumn Doughton
Being in front of an audience makes me feel alive. Being with friends makes me feel alive. I've done some crazy stuff in my time and yet I can feel infinitely alive curled up on a sofa reading a book. So, what makes me feel alive? I guess it's realizing I am part of the world around me. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Talking about class terrifies me. There is no way of winning. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch

BOOKSELLER: Oh.
CUSTOMER: Do you have a selection of narrators to choose from? Ideally, I'd like Benedict Cumberbatch ~ Jen Campbell
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Jen Campbell
My first agent dissuaded me from calling myself 'Cumberbatch.' I had six months of not very productive time with her, so I changed agents. The new one said, 'Why aren't you using your family name? It's a real attention-grabber.' I worried, 'How much is it going to cost to put my name in lights?' But then I decided that's not my problem. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch

One of the best things about being an actor is that it's a meritocracy. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
People always want to knock you when you're up. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm not very geeky. I'm quite homespun. I would say I'm more modern rustic than gadget-orientated. I like woollen things and log fires and whiskey ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I was thrilled with how the first series of 'Sherlock' was received. It was such great fun to film, which makes it so rewarding when something you enjoy is so well received. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
There's still nearly the same amount of slavery, if not more, in the world today, as there was at the height of the slave trade. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Every job is incredibly different, and I love it because you're picking up skill sets and experiences. It's the university of life. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
The first time we did cavalry charge I was so breathless with excitement I nearly fell off the horse. I actually saw stars in front of my eyes and thought I was going to faint. The second time I had a bit more control but was still giddy with excitement. And the third time I was an emotional wreck. I had to really try hard not to cry. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Metaphorically speaking, it's easy to bump into one another on the journey from A to B and not even notice. People should take time to notice, enjoy and help each other. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Because reading is one of the joys of life, and once you begin, you can't stop, and you've got so many stories to look forward to. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
There's no shame in stealing - any actor who says he doesn't is lying. You steal from everything. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
There was a moment of extraordinary humbleness and humility and pride, as well, with my father when he turned to me - and I think it was after I played Salieri in "Amadeus" at university. And he said, You're better than I ever was or ever could be, you should do this for profession. You'd have a good time. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Live a life less ordinary. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I play enough other mad people, as well and some sane people, to vary the palette of what's scrabbling around in my head and soul to bring to the floor, as a storyteller. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I think with any characterization there's a point where you empathize, no matter how much of a deviance his or her actions may be from your understanding of humanity. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I had the privilege of being able to choose, or at least have the opportunity to work at, being anything but an actor. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
The boy reported - after the Sergeant had slept for a few hours, which was not nearly enough - that YouTube had actually gone down for ten minutes under the weight of traffic. The story was truly global, truly immense: not Obama, not Justin Bieber, not Psy and not Bin Laden had ever touched this, he said. Not Khaled Saeed and not Mohamed Bouazizi, either. If Pippa Middleton and Megan Fox had announced their intention to marry during a live theatrical production of 50 Shades of Grey starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and then taken off their clothes to reveal their bodies tattooed with the text of the eighth Harry Potter novel, they might have approached this level of frenzy. But probably not, the boy said, because not everyone liked Benedict Cumberbatch. ~ Nick Harkaway
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Nick Harkaway
Animations are really powerful - it's not just entertainment, it's a very cunning way to get good ideas across. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
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. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
If people ask, 'Are you Sherlock Holmes?', it's horribly naff, but I say, 'I'm not, I just look a bit like him' - which is how I feel. There are bad attributes of his that I really don't share! ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I was the boy that turned a girlfriend into the most celebrated lesbian on television. I got so much stick for that. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
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
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
When you freefall for 7,000 feet it doesn't feel like you're falling: it feels like you're floating, a bit like scuba diving. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I drive a motorbike, so there is the whiff of the grim reaper round every corner, especially in London. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
People are being beheaded in countries right now because of their beliefs or sexual orientation. It's terrifying. It's medieval. I'd take up arms against someone who was telling me I had to believe in what they believed or they'd kill me. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I have actual acting scars. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I got live tweeted once by someone who was opposite my home in some rented accommodation. He was actually describing on twitter what I was doing. 'I took a shirt off, I went to the window, I put a shirt back on ... ' And I've got blinds in my flat! ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
All the backstories are there but not talked about. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
We have a lot more unlikely heroes now. It's not just the guy with guns - it's the guy with brains. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
The world of 'Sherlock Holmes' and the world that we live in now is big enough to take more than one interpretation. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
It still makes me giggle that I'm paid to act. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Any privacy in public is a hard thing to negotiate. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
You can't imagine fame. You can only ever see it from an outsider and comment on it with the rueful wisdom of a non participant. When it happens to you, it doesn't matter what age or how, it is a very steep learning curve. The imprtanot thing to realize in all of it is that life is short, to protect the ones you love, and not expose yourself to too much abuse or narcissistic reflection gazing and move on. If fame affords me the type of ability to do the kind of work I'm being offered, who am I to complain about the downsides. It's all relative. And this are obviously very high class problems. The way privacy becomes an every shrinking island is inevitable but also manageable and it doesn't necessary have to get that way ... ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm aware of the power of looks. I've wanted to play roles that have gone to much better-looking people and you just think 'Oh well, that's the pin up guy's an actor like my friend James Mcavoy, who's gorgeous on screen. I'm not that. But at least I don't have to worry about taking precious care of my face because it's my commodity. That's a great freedom. I'm not afraid of being heinous for the sake of a part ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
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. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
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
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I've been very lucky at what's happened in my career to date, but playing something as far from me as possible is an ambition of mine - anything from a mutated baddy in a comic book action thriller, to a detective. If anything, I'd like Gary Oldman's career: he's the perfect example of it. I've love to have a really broad sweep of characters - to be able to do something edgy, surprising and unfashionable. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
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. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict (Cumberbatch, who is playing Sherlock) looks amazing. He's still got a Sherlockian silhouette, with a large overcoat, but in a classic cut. Watson dresses with an urban elegance, a touch of old school dashing, giving a feeling of both the military and medical profession. I suppose it's something they have in common as well. They're a bit metrosexual. ~ Martin Freeman
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Martin Freeman
It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I keep myself amused and others confused ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
When you see a good horseman, you're unable to tell where the instruction is coming from. It's like telepathy. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I've seen and swam and climbed and lived and driven and filmed. Should it all end tomorrow, I can definitely say there would be no regrets. I am very lucky, and I know it. I really have lived 5,000 times over. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
'Sherlock' fans are, by and large, an intelligent breed, so they've gone through my back catalogue and got what I've done, why and how I've done it. There is some obsessive behaviour, but I worry for them rather than me. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people's expectations, then you can go mad. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
There are moments when you can get completely and utterly blocked (by fear). When you start a rehearsal process or say yes to a job, you're jumping in the air. By the time you've landed, you go, 'I've got to do this. I've actually got to make this work. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Landing the role of Stephen Hawking was the most positively surprising thing that has happened to me. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
She could have just told him about the magic phone. Full disclosure. Then they could have solved it together. They could have Sherlocked and Watsoned from both ends of the timeline ~ Rainbow Rowell
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Rainbow Rowell
There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I had parents who were working actors, who did really well in their careers, but it was a living. So it was a reality for me growing up; it wasn't a fantasy. It wasn't sitting there going, "I want to be adored." It wasn't that at all. Not to say that the screams of fans aren't a smile-raiser, but that was never the pull for me. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
You have to sometimes just run with the problem rather than trying to solve it with hi-tech wizardry and lots of planning. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
A woman who knows that she doesn't have to get all decked out to look good is sexy. A woman who can make you feel smart with her conversation skills is also sexy. I believe the sense of humor is important. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I had a real yearning to make use of the opportunities I had at school. When I heard about the gap year of teaching English at a Tibetan monastery, I knew I had to do something about it really quickly, otherwise it was going to get allocated. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Mystique is rare now, isn't it? There aren't that many enigmas in this modern world. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I love doing impersonations of people. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
It is a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
There's a lot of Sherlock love in here. In many ways, this book might as well be called 'Deduce THIS, Sexlock Holmes!' with a picture of me licking his meerschaum, cross-eyed and screaming. ~ Caitlin Moran
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Caitlin Moran
I think what I loved in cinema - and what I mean by cinema is not just films, but proper, classical cinema - are the extraordinary moments that can occur on screen. At the same time, I do feel that cinema and theater feed each other. I feel like you can do close-up on stage and you can do something very bold and highly characterized - and, dare I say, theatrical - on camera. I think the cameras and the viewpoints shift depending on the intensity and integrity of your intention and focus on that. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Someone will always hate what I say. There's always going to be somebody spitting blood about my wooden-faced, toffee-named, crappy acting. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I have memories of clouds whisking by while sitting in the pushchair on the roof of my parents' flat. I loved it! I just loved staring at the clouds and dreaming away. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
When are you ever settled enough to have kids? ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I was brought up in a world of privilege. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
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. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
It's great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I'm enjoying. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
It's always important to have the blessing. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I can't think of a wittier or even accurate comparison (Sherlock Holmes' hair), but I just think it makes me look a bit like a woman. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I like to think that we're revolving on this planet and revolving through the galaxy. I love having context that's so much bigger than I can fathom. It's fantastic to realise how insignificant you are. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
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. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
'Benedict' means 'blessed.' My parents liked the sound of the name and felt slightly blessed because they'd been trying for a child for a very long time. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Mum did a lot of commercial theatre and farces in the 1980s and '90s to make sure the school bills were paid. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
When auditioning, I try to imagine that I'm the only person that they [directors] are seeing that day because it can be overwhelming, in the same sense that it could be overwhelming if you try to fulfil everyone's expectations rather than the people closest to you in the creative process, be it your director, or fellow actors and the writers. So, that's kind of it - I try to trick myself into believing that no one has ever gone there before. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I realised quite early on that, although I wasn't trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I've realised now that the reality of children is you have to be in the right place with the right person. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
I like playing off strong actors, whether it's Benedict Cumberbatch or Dominic Cooper. Also I'm a hopeless romantic, so I'm fascinated by relationships. ~ Lara Pulver
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Lara Pulver
There's a huge raft of roles that actors in our culture perform, and you can see any one of about three Hamlets in a year. It's not something to be completely daunted by. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch is not only the best name in show business, it's also the response you get when you ask John Travolta to pronounce Ben Affleck. ~ Neil Patrick Harris
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Neil Patrick Harris
I'm not loyal to one genre. I want to mix it up. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch is very beautiful. ~ Caitlin Moran
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Caitlin Moran
What a tragic waste o engagement (selfies). Enjoy the moment. Do something more worthwhile with your time, anything. Stare out the window and think about life. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
The generation now below me were born into a world where if you're a kid with raw talent now, you can roll in and land a lead in a Scorsese film. You don't have to have prove yourself by working up the ranks, doing the classics, and getting the canon under your belt in the way the great Sirs and Dames of mom and dad's generation - the [Ben] Kingsleys and [Helen] Mirrens and [Anthony] Hopkinses and people of that ilk. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
