More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I broke things to get attention.
Daniel Day-Lewis
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.

Daniel Day-Lewis
God knows, I haven't always been successful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I feel less often compelled to do the work than I was in the past.

Very often there's this misapprehension about actors being people that need to display themselves, to reveal themselves in public.
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
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

Daniel Day-Lewis
I like to learn about things.
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
