I suppose being remarkably stupid in comparison to any of these people’s abilities is difficult sometimes but that only really manifests when you are actually asked to do something that they can do so in the sense of the fictional characters I play like Sherlock who is incredibly smart, playing the violin is an absolute nightmare because that takes thousands of hours of practice and I’m an actor sort of picking it up once every two years. But that’s when you feel a complete fraud. I don’t see it as a challenge, I see it, well I do but the kind of challenge I relish because I love learning, so for giving me the opportunity for this sort of extended higher education that this job offers me often with these extraordinary people and their extraordinary talents and worlds and abilities, then that’s something I thrive off”. Benedict Cumberbatch for Time Magazine
