More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride.
Daniel Day-Lewis
When I did make the decision to focus on acting, I think my mother was just relieved for me that I had finally started to focus.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The greater your powers of self-delusion, the greater will be the apparent efficacy of this untruth.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Films exhaust me, they do, and I often want nothing more to do with them, but I'm continually surprised at the resurgence of the impulse to come back and do it all over again.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I broke things to get attention.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I've been very lucky.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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.
Daniel Day-Lewis
God knows, I haven't always been successful.
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
I like to learn about things.
Daniel Day-Lewis
How can you be a recluse in a house full of children, even if you had the inclination to be, which I don't?
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
The last time I was on a small set would've been probably My Left Foot.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
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.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
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
It's easy to love humanity when you're this far away from it.
Daniel Day-Lewis
