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.

More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.
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
I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime.

A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
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
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
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
I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
Daniel Day-Lewis
God knows, I haven't always been successful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I've got a serious-looking head.
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 never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
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
You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I hate the domestic life.
