More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
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
I'm not actually a big musical fan.
Daniel Day-Lewis
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm woefully one-track-minded.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
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 broke things to get attention.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I can't honestly account for the very personal response that I have to one story and not another, a sense of an orbit, the orbit of a world that draws me as my own life recedes.
Daniel Day-Lewis
