Happy Birthday Benedict Cumberbatch!

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.

Ich habe nie behauptet, dass Jonny den Job wegen der Bezahlung annahm und bat ihn niemals, ihn nicht zu spielen. Ich sagte lediglich, dass ich lieber nicht in einer Situation wäre, in der wir wiederholt verglichen werden, weil wir Freunde sind. Mehr als 70 Schauspieler haben Holmes vor uns gemimt. Zu sagen, dass es nur einen Holmes geben kann, wäre lächerlich.

Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame.

Ich würde vermutlich zunächst das Latex testen, wenn Verhütung ins Spiel kommt. Ich würde ein kleines Experiment bezüglich der Haltbarkeit, Länge, Breite und Stärke durchführen. Vermutlich würde ich auch viele Vitaminprodukte zu mir nehmen, um sicherzugehen, dass ich den Verkehr vollziehen kann. Vorher eine Menge Schlaf und wenig Zigaretten oder Drinks. Nicht, dass Sherlock trinken würde.

The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.

I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.

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.

I have an appetite for the normal in my life, as well as the abnormal.

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.

Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.

'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.

I love theatre, and you learn too much as an actor and enjoy too much of it not to want to go back a lot.

Upper class to me means you are either born into wealth or you're Royalty.

One of the fears of having too much work is not having time to observe. And once you get recognised, there is nowhere for you to look any more. You can't sit on a night bus and watch it all happen.

There's no shame in stealing - any actor who says he doesn't is lying. You steal from everything.

Live a life less ordinary.

The more charming person is the person who admits the other person is more charming.

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.

I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.

I'll always do 'Sherlock' - it's something I'm not going to give up on.

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

'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.

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

I drag a lot of stuff round with me that I don't need.

Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.

My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.

Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
