John Lennon and Ringo Starr liked my songs. I used to write songs and they heard me sing songs on stage in London.

In cinema, the leading player is the director.

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 218 quotes

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

I didn't go to drama school because, from the first refusal I then, as I said, a couple of weeks later, was offered a professional job, where I am immensely grateful to the journey.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

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 218 quotes

The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!

It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.

You want to know what I want? I'll tell you what I want. I want back what Bobby Fischer took with him when he disappeared.

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.

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

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 218 quotes

There are some directors, lesser in confidence or skill, who make the actor feel very uncomfortable because you feel you're auditioning for them, every day, and that's a terrible feeling on the set.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

The environment forces you to ...

The environment forces you to be utterly dependent between 'action' and 'cut' because the environment is perfect on your fellow actor. So as an acting exercise, it's absolutely thrilling that the focus that we had to bring to each other echoed in life, echoed in art. And when you get that parallel, it's really thrilling and it's full of surprises, but it all has a logic.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

There is always something about the villains that I'm able to play, quote unquote, that isn't villainous.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

I think that you can fall into...

I think that you can fall into bad habits with comedy... It's a tightrope to stay true to the character, true to the irony, and allow the irony to happen.

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.

Sometimes it's right to do the wrong things and right now is one of those times.

Ben Kingsley 218 quotes

Equal partners aren't always what we envision as being manifestly equal. Equality can come in many different shapes and sizes and combinations.

My line-learning is very special. I like to learn the dialogue of the whole film before I arrive.
