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

Ben Kingsley

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

I think that most actors attempt to keep in touch with the child.
BEN KINGSLEY

Acting Children Thinking
I think Romeo and Juliet is uplifting. That’s how much a son wishes to avenge his father. That is how much two young people can love each other.
BEN KINGSLEY

Father Son Uplifting
They’re a very strange lot actors, very strange people.

I never read anything in print about me. It started with not reading reviews and with the greatest respect to my publicist here, I never read interviews. I was there when I gave them. I never read reviews. I was there when I did the jobs – so I’m totally immune. I live in a bubble.
BEN KINGSLEY

Interview Jobs Reading
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

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

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
But comedy I’d love to do as much as humanly possible.
BEN KINGSLEY

Comedy Human Possible
