I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
It must be hard interviewing actors.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I'm not picky, quite honestly.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I've been very lucky.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
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
Image
As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.

Image
I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.
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 never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
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
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
Very often there's this misapprehension about actors being people that need to display themselves, to reveal themselves in public.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
Films exhaust me, they do, and I often want nothing more to do with them, but I'm continually surprised at the resurgence of the impulse to come back and do it all over again.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
One of the great privileges of having grown up in a middle-class literary English household, but having gone to school in the front lines in Southeast London, was that I became half-street-urchin and half-good-boy at home. I knew that dichotomy was possible.
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
You can never fully put your finger on the reason why you're suddenly, inexplicably compelled to explore one life as opposed to another.
