It's easy to love humanity when you're this far away from it.
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
I can't honestly account for the very personal response that I have to one story and not another, a sense of an orbit, the orbit of a world that draws me as my own life recedes.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I like to learn about things.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I like to cook things very slowly.

You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.

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
I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
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.

When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn't have. And, in hindsight, I've almost always been wrong when I haven't listened to myself.
