More quotes by Ben Kingsley
They're a very strange lot actors, very strange people.
Ben Kingsley
If I were to play somebody who ran a fish and chip shop, I would not work in a fish and chip shop for three months. Staring at chips is not going to help me in my performance.
Ben Kingsley
In England, it's now Sir Ben. Mister has just disappeared. It's not even on my passport anymore. They've taken Mister away from me.
Ben Kingsley
If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.
Ben Kingsley
As an actor there's no autonomy, unless you're prepared to risk the possibility of starving.
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
Sometimes it's right to do the wrong things and right now is one of those times.
Ben Kingsley
Millions of children are disempowered and we need to empower them.
Ben Kingsley
I don't want to be like the actor who rehearses everything in the bathroom, then comes to the set and carries on completely uninterrupted while the other actors tiptoe away.
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
You don't go to a town to present the play and have applause at the end of it, but that's benign conquest. It's a glorious way of exploring other landscapes and other cultures in a very life-affirming way.
Ben Kingsley
The many many imponderables come together when a film opens and for all sorts of reasons it may or may not succeed.
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
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
I have a rather naive approach, I think, to my job.
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
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
There's so much crap talked about acting.
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
If the director wishes to print it, then you have a series of choices, maybe millions of choices within that minute-and-a-half, or 80 seconds, or 2 minutes or however long or short the take is, you have all those choices committed to celluloid. I find that absolutely thrilling.
Ben Kingsley
