^^ I really respect/admire/look up to Benedict because he truly loves what he does. He puts so much heart and passion into his roles and comes across as kind, intelligent, accessible, and *human* in each fan encounter/interview I've read. I love how he doesn't take himself too seriously (aka isn't afraid to look like a dork/nerd) and has his flaws -- for example, seen his fashion sense outside of formal events? sometimes...yikes -- because a lot of celebrities seem to do the exact opposite. They take themselves seriously and feel like they have to hide their flaws.
Not to mention he's incredibly talented and very, very attractive...I mean his mouth, his eyes...even his hair...and of course the cheekbones. ha.
Okay, I'm done gushing :)
I found this quote on Tumblr and wanted to make an artwork out of it because it's 100% true. I wrote it in cursive, outlined it, erased the cursive inside the lines, and went over the outline with black pen. Then I colored it with colored pencils. It's currently hanging on my bedroom wall beside my window so I can see it whenever I come into my room or get ready to go somewhere.
