When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.

I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
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
Image
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
Daniel Day-Lewis
