Benedict CumberbatchI love the idea of playing something stupid or romantic. I'm not the smartest man in the room.

That's great fun, even though it's as much a fantasy for me as for the people watching me.
Benedict CumberbatchI know that might sound perverse because I played Julian Assange but, honestly, I don't think it would be fair for me to judge the man. I realize that makes me a bit of a hypocrite because I was portraying him a certain way, but we were always open to the fact that this was an interpretation, not any kind of exact evidence of who the man was.
