More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
There are always practical decisions to be made about any character you're playing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I like to learn about things.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
God knows, I haven't always been successful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not picky, quite honestly.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Perhaps I'm particularly serious, because I'm not unaware of the potential absurdity of what I'm doing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I feel less often compelled to do the work than I was in the past.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot.
Daniel Day-Lewis
It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
The word Amendment itself is an encouraging thing, isn't it? Because an amendment, it tells of a system of government that allows for the improvement of itself. Just move forward a little bit, one day at a time.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
Everybody has to know for themselves what they're capable of.
Daniel Day-Lewis
It must be hard interviewing actors.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The theater is a need for me. It's a terrible attraction, something I'm compelled to do. And one derives a form of nourishment from the theater which you can never get from films. Making films weakens you in some way. With the theater, the work itself is a regenerative process.
Daniel Day-Lewis
