More quotes by Ben Kingsley

Ben Kingsley
I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.
Ben Kingsley

Ben Kingsley
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.
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'm convinced that had I not changed my name, I don't think I would have had quite the same career curve that I eventually had.
Ben Kingsley
I'm open to any project, but my joyful projects are those through which I can say something and through which I can speak to the an audience of people in the world, and I can be that vehicle through which something can be said, I find that entirely thrilling and joyful.
Ben Kingsley
I was fortunate as a young actor, to go straight to the RSC, where I learned that being an actor can bring with it wonderful responsibilities.
Ben Kingsley
Family is family over the internet, over Skype, over the telephone. Love is love. You don't have to actually go through some ritual to prove that you love somebody.
Ben Kingsley
As an actor there's no autonomy, unless you're prepared to risk the possibility of starving.
Ben Kingsley
