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
Image
Film has become such a central part of our culture now that I think sometimes too great a weight is placed upon it in terms of scrutiny and analysis. There's a lot of rather specious professorial stuff that swirls around films.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I feel less often compelled to do the work than I was in the past.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
The greater your powers of self-delusion, the greater will be the apparent efficacy of this untruth.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image

Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I broke things to get attention.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
How can you be a recluse in a house full of children, even if you had the inclination to be, which I don't?
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
Daniel Day-Lewis

How people are around a director, it really does affect everything, every detail of the life of the movie.
