Daniel Day-Lewis
Image

Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
It's easy to love humanity when you're this far away from it.
Daniel Day-Lewis

It must be hard interviewing actors.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
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
Image
I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I became conflicted in my late teens.
