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.

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
Everybody has to know for themselves what they're capable of.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I'm very often still very much alive for that other being and that other world long after the film is finished
