More quotes by 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
I'm not actually a big musical fan.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I became conflicted in my late teens.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.
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've got a serious-looking head.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
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
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 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 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
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
I'm not picky, quite honestly.
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
There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The theater is a need for me. It's a terrible attraction, something I'm compelled to do. And one derives a form of nourishment from the theater which you can never get from films. Making films weakens you in some way. With the theater, the work itself is a regenerative process.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Everybody has to know for themselves what they're capable of.
Daniel Day-Lewis
You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film - you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.
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
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
