“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.” SometimesChoicesProcessRoomsNumbersAudienceStageFrontsEventsDeterminedExperimentsRehearsalChoices You Make Author:Ben Kingsley
“I love storytelling. If you strip all the bits away, what you'll find at the center is a storyteller. As I warm to my career and love it more, I have a sense that storytelling is healing, in many ways. You can reach an audience and heal, and by heal, I mean entertain and provoke. It's a wonderful life.” IfsWayMeanBitsHealingCareersAudienceWonderfulAnd LoveWarmHealLove StoryStorytellingProvokingStorytellerWonderful LifeIt's A Wonderful Life Author:Ben Kingsley
“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.

“You can throw away the privilege of acting, but that would be such a shame. The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that's what the storyteller is, and I think it's important for actors to appreciate that.

The more you pull away from the public, the less power you have on screen.” ThinkingImportantStoriesRealityWould BeAbleActorsActingAudienceAppreciateShamePrivilegeTheatreScreensTribesStorytellerHealer Author:Ben Kingsley
