I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
As actors, we're all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, 'Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.'
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.

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.
