Daniel Day-Lewis
I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
It's easy to love humanity when you're this far away from it.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.
Daniel Day-Lewis
