More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing
Daniel Day-Lewis
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
Daniel Day-Lewis
A lot of guys in jail tattoo their hands.
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
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
I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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.
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
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
I became conflicted in my late teens.
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
There's nothing worse than finding yourself in a situation, a very demanding piece of work, and knowing that you're not a true ally to the person who's in charge of all that.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not picky, quite honestly.
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
I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.
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 have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
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
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
