I like to learn about things.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn't have. And, in hindsight, I've almost always been wrong when I haven't listened to myself.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
A lot of guys in jail tattoo their hands.
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
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
England is obsessed with where you came from, and they are determined to keep you in that place, be it in a drawing room or in the gutter.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
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
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
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
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'm not actually a big musical fan.
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
I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
My life is devoted to self-delusion - and I have a great capacity for that - but it's the thing that gives me the most pleasure, so I can't complain about it.
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.
