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.

More quotes by Ben Kingsley
Hamlet is an astonishing intelligence.
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'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
What is chess, do you think? Those who play for fun or not at all dismiss it as a game. The ones who devote their lives to it for the most part insist that it's a science. It's neither. Bobby Fischer got underneath it like no one before and found at its center, art.
Ben Kingsley
I think if I were to go back on stage I might be in great danger of acting.
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
They're a very strange lot actors, very strange people.
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
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
Sometimes it's right to do the wrong things and right now is one of those times.
Ben Kingsley
There's so much crap talked about acting.
Ben Kingsley
In cinema, the leading player is the director.
Ben Kingsley
But filming is good for you, because the crew isn't allowed to laugh. You can't get addicted to getting the laugh.
Ben Kingsley
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.
Ben Kingsley
I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.
Ben Kingsley
Well, it's wonderful to be identified strongly with my work.
Ben Kingsley
I have a rather naive approach, I think, to my job.
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
One of the greatest things drama can do, at it's best, is to redefine the words we use every day such as love, home, family, loyalty and envy. Tragedy need not be a downer.
Ben Kingsley
There is always something about the villains that I'm able to play, quote unquote, that isn't villainous.
Ben Kingsley
