More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The word Amendment itself is an encouraging thing, isn't it? Because an amendment, it tells of a system of government that allows for the improvement of itself. Just move forward a little bit, one day at a time.
Daniel Day-Lewis
You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I broke things to get attention.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.
Daniel Day-Lewis
My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Perhaps I'm particularly serious, because I'm not unaware of the potential absurdity of what I'm doing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I like to cook things very slowly.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The theater is a need for me. It's a terrible attraction, something I'm compelled to do. And one derives a form of nourishment from the theater which you can never get from films. Making films weakens you in some way. With the theater, the work itself is a regenerative process.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I suppose that anyone who does any kind of creative work some time in their life - especially as you grow into middle age! - you come to a time where you really question more and more frequently, whether you have anything else to offer. And at its worst, you feel utterly bereft of whatever creative force it takes to do that work.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Very often there's this misapprehension about actors being people that need to display themselves, to reveal themselves in public.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not picky, quite honestly.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I am more greatly moved by people who struggle to express themselves...I prefer the abstract concept of incoherence in the face of great feeling to beautiful, full sentences that convey little emotion.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Leaving a role is a terrible sadness. The last day of the shooting is surreal. Your soul, your body and your mind are not ready at all to see the end of this experience. In the following months after a film shoot, one feels a deep sense of void.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not actually a big musical fan.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot.
Daniel Day-Lewis
