Ben Kingsley’s 5 most popular quotes

• I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language.
• One of the greatest things drama can do, at it’s best, is to redefine the words we use every day such as love, home, family, loyalty and envy. Tragedy need not be a downer.
• You cannot learn a lesson of profound forgiveness unless you understand what it is to be wounded and forgive that which has wounded you.
• Family is family over the internet, over Skype, over the telephone. Love is love. You don’t have to actually go through some ritual to prove that you love somebody.
• Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It’s harder.

Anthony Hopkins’s 5 most popular quotes

• My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.
• No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.
• Relish everything that’s inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.
• Once you accept the fact that there’s nothing to fear, you drill into the primal oil well. I believe when we do things without fear, we can do anything. As long as you don’t worry about the consequences.
• If you don’t follow through on your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable.

American actor
Born: December 31, 1959

Val Kilmer was born in Los Angeles, California, to Gladys Swanette (Ekstadt) and Eugene Dorris Kilmer, who was a real estate developer and aerospace equipment distributor. His mother, born in Indiana, was from a Swedish family, and his father was from Texas. Val studied at Hollywood’s Professional School and, in his teens, entered Juilliard’s drama program. His professional acting career began on stage, and he still participates in theater; he played Hamlet at the 1988 Colorado Shakespeare Festival. His film debut was in the 1984 spoof Top Secret! (1984), wherein he starred as blond rock idol Nick Rivers. He was in a number of films throughout the 1980s, including the 1986 smash Top Gun (1986). Despite his obvious talent and range, it wasn’t until his astonishingly believable performance as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors (1991) that the world sat up and took notice. Kilmer again put his good baritone to use in the movie, performing all of the concert pieces. Since then, he has played two more American legends: Elvis Presley in True Romance (1993) and Doc Holliday in Tombstone (1993). In July 1994, it was announced that Kilmer would be taking over the role of Batman from Michael Keaton.

• Give me the compliments. I love compliments. I was born modest, but it wore off.
• I respect people who can do both careers, like Will Smith and a couple of other people who have done it, but I just don’t know when they sleep.
• Warren Beatty once told me that if someone’s really stuck on you, find them their next boyfriend. But I could never do that.
