Ben Kingsley Quotes

The trick is to try and justify every word on the page and make sure my character is the man who would say that Picture Quote #1

When I choose a role it’s either because I recognise the man, or that I’m very curious to know him. If I neither recognise nor know him, then it is better that I don’t play him Picture Quote #1

When you drop your guard in films, the acting process compensates. You get lazy and you start acting Picture Quote #1

With narration, you have to be very accurate with your voice. It’s a good exercise to do Picture Quote #1

The many many imponderables come together when a film opens and for all sorts of reasons it may or may not succeed Picture Quote #1

The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head! Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it’s right to do the wrong things and right now is one of those times Picture Quote #1

You can throw away the privilege of acting, but that would be such a shame. The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that’s what the storyteller is, and I think it’s important for actors to appreciate that. Too often actors think it’s all about them, when in reality it’s all about the audience being able to recognize themselves in you. The more you pull away from the public, the less power you have on screen Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had to turn my hand to anything for monetary gain, other than pretending to be somebody else. I’m deeply fortunate Picture Quote #1

The number of choices you make in the event that you see on stage, those choices are sometimes largely determined by the rehearsal process and the experiments that you go through and the choices that you make in the rehearsal room, not in front of an audience Picture Quote #1

I told myself that I would not go back to the camps as an actor ever again, that I was very frightened of wearing a yellow star. It was fear, it was cowardice, I was Picture Quote #1

There are some directors, lesser in confidence or skill, who make the actor feel very uncomfortable because you feel you’re auditioning for them, every day, and that’s a terrible feeling on the set Picture Quote #1

That hunger of the flesh, that longing for ease, that terror of incarceration, that insistence on tribal honour being obeyed: all of that exists, and it exists everywhere Picture Quote #1

You cannot learn a lesson of profound forgiveness unless you understand what it is to be wounded and forgive that which has wounded you Picture Quote #1

In order to inhabit a villain, you mustn’t care what the audience think of you. That’s not why you are there. You mustn’t care for a second whether the audience likes you or dislikes you. Your villain has to be way beyond that Picture Quote #1

If it’s a really well written villain, he probably has more layers than the archetypal good person. So that would be very attractive to an actor. No one chooses to be a villain; it’s usually a reaction to something else Picture Quote #1

It has been a great experience to act in Hollywood movies with actors like Ben Kingsley Picture Quote #1

It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity Picture Quote #1

There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well Picture Quote #1
