Movie magic is movie magic and acting magic is acting magic.

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!

There was one titanic guiding light on the film set, and I was in the presence of a true Mahatma, in the deepest and most profound sense of the word.

I'm very in love with the fact that the camera is revolted by acting and loves behaviour.

With narration, you have to be very accurate with your voice. It's a good exercise to do.

When Attenborough asked me to do Gandhi it was almost like stepping off one boat and stepping on to another, even though both boats are going at 60 miles per hour.
