More quotes by 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 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
Perhaps I'm particularly serious, because I'm not unaware of the potential absurdity of what I'm doing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
There are always practical decisions to be made about any character you're playing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
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
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
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
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 have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
Daniel Day-Lewis
God knows, I haven't always been successful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.
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
The last time I was on a small set would've been probably My Left Foot.
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
I'm not actually a big musical fan.
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
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
I became conflicted in my late teens.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.
Daniel Day-Lewis
