Nice interview in which he mentions how meditation helps him.
Mr. Cumberbatch, what is happiness for you?
Happiness for me is just being; just being at any given moment. If you are searching for happiness, you are not happy.
That’s a profound answer!
It
is true though. It’s the pot at the end of the rainbow, if you start
looking for it. But I like the idea that your mind has the power to
shape your own reality — however dire, however difficult your
circumstances may be.
