Live A Life Less Ordinary.

I'm Quite Sensitive To People Noticing Me. There Are Times When I'm Relaxed, Then Others When It Does Make Me Self-conscious.

We All Want To Escape Our Circumstances, Don't We? Especially If You Are An Actor.

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.

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.

I Feel Like I'm Away For Much Of My Own Life.
