I have never felt bereft of anything.

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.

Well, it's wonderful to be identified strongly with my work.

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.

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

- Ben Kingsley

But comedy I'd love to do as much as humanly possible.
