More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
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 love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.

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 broke things to get attention.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis

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
