Here's a nice sit down with Benedict:

Nice interview
I still get that sense that he's struggling a little with some aspects of fame, but good that he's got friends around him that understand.
I thnk what would be great is if he did a couple of really outstanding pieces of work where people then start showing him that respect that they give to the really established Actors - those that they leave alone mostly until their next Movie comes out.
At the moment I think a lot of the media are treating him as a celebrity rather than the talented Actor that he is.

It's funny how he says his PR team tries to rein him back from doing too much PR. I always thought it was the other way around! He seems to be everywhere all the time.

Me too, Polar!
Just imagine how much must get turned down by them, then! And also, what was he contracted/obliged to promote with this interview? i.e:why was he doing it? To promote his BAFTA Q&A session, I suppose?
Liked his comment about if he did Twitter he'd get so hooked that he'd probably never pick up a book again - I find this place has that effect on me sometimes!
( I'm glad he doesn't do Twitter, though)
