More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I've got a serious-looking head.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
I hate wasting people's time.
Daniel Day-Lewis
There are always practical decisions to be made about any character you're playing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
It must be hard interviewing actors.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.
Daniel Day-Lewis
There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.
Daniel Day-Lewis
My life is devoted to self-delusion - and I have a great capacity for that - but it's the thing that gives me the most pleasure, so I can't complain about it.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I like to learn about things.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The greater your powers of self-delusion, the greater will be the apparent efficacy of this untruth.
Daniel Day-Lewis
