I like to cook things very slowly.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
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
Just stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far. I will find you!
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
To people who don't know me I'm defined by a number of things that people know about me that are entirely untrue.
Daniel Day-Lewis

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.

I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.
Daniel Day-Lewis

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
There's nothing worse than finding yourself in a situation, a very demanding piece of work, and knowing that you're not a true ally to the person who's in charge of all that.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I broke things to get attention.
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 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
Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.

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.
