I'm not picky, quite honestly.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film - you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I suppose that anyone who does any kind of creative work some time in their life - especially as you grow into middle age! - you come to a time where you really question more and more frequently, whether you have anything else to offer. And at its worst, you feel utterly bereft of whatever creative force it takes to do that work.
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 have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
The greater your powers of self-delusion, the greater will be the apparent efficacy of this untruth.
Daniel Day-Lewis

I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I come from not just a household but a country where the finesse of language, well-balanced sentence, structure, syntax, these things are driven into us, and my parents, bless them, are great custodians of the English language.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
A lot of guys in jail tattoo their hands.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
Leaving a role is a terrible sadness. The last day of the shooting is surreal. Your soul, your body and your mind are not ready at all to see the end of this experience. In the following months after a film shoot, one feels a deep sense of void.
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
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 love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
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.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
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.

I'm not actually a big musical fan.
