When you see a good horseman, you're unable to tell where the instruction is coming from. It's like telepathy.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
I'll always do 'Sherlock' - it's something I'm not going to give up on.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
I haven't done period dramas back-to-back, or really anything back-to-back. You get asked to do what you're most recently famed for, so I'm careful of not repeating myself.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
It'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think, 'Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.'
Quote 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.
Quote 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!
Quote 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!
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
When you're a kid, 'Star Trek' is a slower burn. It's funny, it's entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it - which is its universal appeal, I think.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
Upper class to me means you are either born into wealth or you're Royalty.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
One of the best things about being an actor is that it's a meritocracy.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
My own grandfathers were a submarine commander and a 'desert rats' tank operator in the Second World War.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
'Frankenstein' was all about the idea that, through electricity and the destruction of night, man creating light and darkness, we took on god-like powers and then abused them like gods, and we are only men. That's a story about man making a man in his own image. The inversion of natural order.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
We're living through a time where we are fighting wars fostered by politics, admittedly not on the same scale as the First World War, but with equally tragic realities for our soldiers and their families.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
I want to be able to play trailer-bound fatties in a Judd Apatow comedy.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people's expectations, then you can go mad.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
I drive a motorbike, so there is the whiff of the grim reaper round every corner, especially in London.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
We all want to escape our circumstances, don't we? Especially if you are an actor.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
Being a posh actor in England you cannot escape the class-typing from whatever side you look at it.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
I'm a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I'm all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
I've been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I've suddenly realised it is one of life's joys.
Quote by -Benedict Cumberbatch
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
