Бенедикт о театре:

“I don’t think you could ever get jaded doing theatre,” he replies, “because there’s always an immediacy about it. Yes, you hear a screeching hearing aid. Yes, you have a mobile phone going off. Yes, there are kids giggling in the wrong places. But we’ll all be there at certain points in our life, whether we’re the giggling kid, the person who’s hard of hearing or the idiot who’s forgotten to turn our phone off. We’ve all done it. If you get grumpy about that, just remember you’re a f***ing actor; it’s your f***ing job. You’ve got a job, for starters, but as jobs go, you’re not saving lives, you’re hopefully moving and entertaining and distracting them for a bit. The weight of responsibility is a joyous one to bear. It’s not really that hard a task; it shouldn’t be. I think people who make it into that are miserable and I don’t think many of them last for long with it, which is good, because it has a knock on effect.”

Как мне нравится такое отношение, не передать.

О Шерлоке:
As conversation moves towards Sherlock Holmes, Cumberbatch finds a new, previously unthought of level of enthusiasm. [...] and Martin Freeman, Dr Watson to his Holmes, “is just heaven to work with.” Filming was so cold in the glamorous British winter that during one deduction scene, filmed in the shadow of the OXO tower, Cumberbatch had to warm his jaw with hot water bottles between takes to enable him to continue.
