I've Never Been Front And Centre As

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.

My Massive Motivation In Life Is To Make Parents Proud. But Even That Has To Stop At A Point.

If You Can't Fail, You Can Never Get Better.

Actor Is An Odd Profession, And Sometimes People Get Jealous, But I Haven't Really Experienced Any Of That. Everyone's Been Really Happy For Me, Which Is Really, Really Great.

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.
