Ben Kingsley Quotations

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 always try to find something I admire about every character I play.

All the great writers root their characters in true human behaviour.

I don't honestly think people know what acting is.

I have a rather naive approach, I think, to my job.

I have never felt bereft of anything.

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.

But filming is good for you, because the crew isn't allowed to laugh. You can't get addicted to getting the laugh.

Hamlet is an astonishing intelligence.

I think I'm more bonded, emotionally and in a craft sense, to films that tell extraordinary stories about extraordinary destinies.
