But filming is good for you, because the crew isn't allowed to laugh. You can't get addicted to getting the laugh.

More quotes by Ben Kingsley
I think that you can fall into bad habits with comedy... It's a tightrope to stay true to the character, true to the irony, and allow the irony to happen.
Ben Kingsley
Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It's harder.
Ben Kingsley
I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language.
Ben Kingsley
Working in film, if you work with great directors, you learn that after every take you must let go. Sitting with my wife at the Academy Awards, we both let the moment just go.
Ben Kingsley
Well, it's wonderful to be identified strongly with my work.
Ben Kingsley
You cannot learn a lesson of profound forgiveness unless you understand what it is to be wounded and forgive that which has wounded you.
Ben Kingsley
When Attenborough asked me to do Gandhi it was almost like stepping off one boat and stepping on to another, even though both boats are going at 60 miles per hour.
Ben Kingsley
I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.
Ben Kingsley
I've met quite a number of people in my career, but I do have an extraordinary memory. And even though they may drift into the periphery of my memory, I can bring them right back when I need them.
Ben Kingsley
I love storytelling. If you strip all the bits away, what you'll find at the center is a storyteller. As I warm to my career and love it more, I have a sense that storytelling is healing, in many ways. You can reach an audience and heal, and by heal, I mean entertain and provoke. It's a wonderful life.
Ben Kingsley
Shock is shock. Your body goes into shock, regardless of it being real blood or fake blood. The mind sends powerful messages to all the various glands and secretions in the body. It's impossible trying to act it it just happens. It's a very important question: no acting.
Ben Kingsley
I hope I'm able to achieve more on camera through stillness, through focus, through being quite careful to do less on every take, rather than more. So I'm reducing, rather than adding. Which hopefully is a good exercise. That's what I'd like to do.
Ben Kingsley
I don't honestly think people know what acting is.
Ben Kingsley
They're a very strange lot actors, very strange people.
Ben Kingsley
I just loved playing a man who was unafraid of making an idiot of himself in the process of falling in love. I found that admirable.
Ben Kingsley
With narration, you have to be very accurate with your voice. It's a good exercise to do.
Ben Kingsley
I think that various styles and methods and approaches are an invention of people who don't understand the process of acting and who try very hard to label things.
Ben Kingsley
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.
Ben Kingsley
Sometimes it's right to do the wrong things and right now is one of those times.
Ben Kingsley
If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.
