Benedict Cumberbatch is not only the best name in show business, it's also the response you get when you ask John Travolta to pronounce Ben Affleck.

I'm a very lucky man in this chapter of my professional life, 'cause I get to do jobs with wildly different skill sets.

My favorite time to dance is at, like, wedding receptions, when it's all ages and everyone seems to be having fun.

It's like, the more you commit, the happier the animators are; if you're at all iffy and concerned, then it doesn't free them up to do as much fun stuff, so you have to just go for it and, again, trust the people around you and not be seemingly guarded and numb. Throw caution to the wind a bit.

I think when dance is mediocre, it's painful. But when dance is really impressive, it destroys.

I like the tube more than the NY subway though, you've got cushioned seats.

I don't care about my "impact" - I only care about the theater as an art form and criticism as an act of writing.
