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.

More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm woefully one-track-minded.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not actually a big musical fan.
Daniel Day-Lewis
As actors, we're all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, 'Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.'
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
I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I feel less often compelled to do the work than I was in the past.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
When I did make the decision to focus on acting, I think my mother was just relieved for me that I had finally started to focus.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I like to cook things very slowly.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Everybody has to know for themselves what they're capable of.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm very often still very much alive for that other being and that other world long after the film is finished
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
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
The greater your powers of self-delusion, the greater will be the apparent efficacy of this untruth.
Daniel Day-Lewis
As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.
Daniel Day-Lewis
You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film - you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.
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
God knows, I haven't always been successful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.
Daniel Day-Lewis
