Movie magic is movie magic and...

Movie magic is movie magic and acting magic is acting magic.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

I told myself that I would not...

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.

Filming is so much to do with ...

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.

I think that the stamina, the marathon stamina that you required of your actor, I probably developed on great texts during my Shakespeare tenancy, if you like.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

Shock is shock. Your body goes...

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 218 quotes

In my own experience, in portr...

In my own experience, in portraying other men and earning my money by pretending to be somebody else, it has stamped me with what the actor is-tribally central and socially peripheral.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

Maybe it's not a very business...

Maybe it's not a very businesslike approach, but it's always what attracts me... I do believe that it is that energy, that wonderful energy of the ancient craft of storytelling that will ignite something in the listeners.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

I wasn't particularly strong in the dramatic society, the drama group. I left Manchester Grammar School with abysmal A-level results. I then had a year's hiatus where I didn't know what to do at all.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

We are adjusters. We empathize, we change rhythm and above all we listen to our fellow actors-if they're good actors.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

One of the greatest things dra...

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 218 quotes

I try not to make it easy for ...

I try not to make it easy for myself. I try very hard to stay in the moment. I'm not an actor who psyches himself up for a take. I do the opposite. I actually try and reduce, reduce, reduce, reduce, reduce and get to what I call a flat line or a zero.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

Unfortunately I went to a hote...

Unfortunately I went to a hotel in Krakow, and unfortunately, one night, there was a brawl in the bar because a horrible anti-Semitic remark was made to one of my fellow Israeli actors, one of my fellow actors who was an Israeli, sorry, and we were all extremely upset. I reacted rather violently, I'm afraid.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

I might be asked to make an emotional expression which is me being absolutely, absolutely still and making maybe one movement, and there it is.

The many many imponderables come together when a film opens and for all sorts of reasons it may or may not succeed.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

I would like to make it known,...

I would like to make it known, on this program, loud and clear, that I would absolutely embrace with all five of my arms being a Bond villain.

I have never felt bereft of anything.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

I try and reduce myself to an ...

I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

I'm a hopping maniac, and if I didn't have that disciplined channel to pour this maniacal energy into, I'd probably go berserk.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

I just think that on the bedrock of his creative genius, there resided in Shakespeare a male psyche and a female psyche and that they both dwelled very creatively and energetically inside him.

I think a great director is able to conclude things with grace... and I remember Gandhi ending in a very similar way.
