Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.
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
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.

I've been very lucky.
