Inspirational Ben Daniels Quotes
“Theatre is where my passion lies – I just love it. I love watching it, and I love doing it.”

“The older I get, the more of a recluse I turn into. I love the social aspect of my work. It’s like a commune and gets very intense and very sociable. Then when I am not working, I shut myself away, so I can see myself living up a mountain.”

“I would never advise anyone to stay in the closet to further their careers – I’m sure it leads to big fat gay ulcers. There are actors I know who won’t come out, and I can see it crippling them as human beings. It’s a great shame that people can’t be who they are in the 21st century, and people won’t let them be who they are.”

Famous Quotes by Ben Daniels

“I went to see ‘Shine a Light,’ and it was the most perfect thing I could have done to watch that man do what he does in front of an audience. It’s primarily Mick Jagger, but they’re all so confident and relaxed and in love with what they do, and aware of the power of what they do. It’s just deeply, deeply attractive.”

“I’m a huge Emile Zola fan, and when Bill Gallagher said he was writing a new character for ‘The Paradise’ and had me in mind for the role, I knew I wanted to play Tom Weston before I’d even read a word of the script.”
