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

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

Ends Knows Rhythm
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

Musical Term Trying
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.

Arms Embrace Villain
If you are a libertine, if you’re not given to long-term faithful relationships, you tend to project your behavior onto everyone else. It’s like the person who knows they’re not trustworthy; they tend to mistrust everyone else.
BEN KINGSLEY

Faithful Long Trustworthy
Hopefully, as I get older in the business, I make my choices more accurately, and I perhaps know from either the script or the first meeting that it isn’t going to work.

Choices Firsts Script
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.

The leaping Jaguar on the bonnet, to me, makes it look more like a hunter than something that is getting away. It’s a hunter. Richard III definitely would have had a chauffeur driven Jaguar MK X.

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

Choices Event Numbers
I think I’m more bonded, emotionally and in a craft sense, to films that tell extraordinary stories about extraordinary destinies.
BEN KINGSLEY

Destiny Stories Thinking
There’s so much crap talked about acting.
BEN KINGSLEY

Acting Crap Talk
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

Actors Stars Yellow
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!
BEN KINGSLEY

Acting Camera Doe
It’s Sir Ben. I’ve not been a Mister for two years.
BEN KINGSLEY

Hollywood Two Years
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

Actors Responsibility Wonderful
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.
