I think Romeo and Juliet is uplifting. That's how much a son wishes to avenge his father. That is how much two young people can love each other.

More quotes by Ben Kingsley
The trick is to try and justify every word on the page and make sure my character is the man who would say that.
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 don't honestly think people know what acting is.
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
Filming is so much to do with rhythm, as is music, and if it isn't there then you know in the end nobody can save it really, they can't.
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
I think that all of us either lose touch with the child inside us or try and hold onto it because it so precious to us and it's such an extraordinary part of our lives.
Ben Kingsley
There's so much crap talked about acting.
Ben Kingsley

Ben Kingsley
Sometimes it's right to do the wrong things and right now is one of those times.
Ben Kingsley
There was one titanic guiding light on the film set, and I was in the presence of a true Mahatma, in the deepest and most profound sense of the word.
Ben Kingsley
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.
Ben Kingsley
With narration, you have to be very accurate with your voice. It's a good exercise to do.
Ben Kingsley
I don't do anything that would ever come across as advice or suggestion, but it's just part of a debate. Like, I would like to try this, or Let me do another one with more stillness, let me emphasize that. Rather than I think you should emphasize this, I think - you know, I don't impose choices.
Ben Kingsley
The biggest surprise in a man's life is old age.
Ben Kingsley
I have a rather naive approach, I think, to my job.
Ben Kingsley
