More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I like to learn about things.
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
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
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

Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
The greater your powers of self-delusion, the greater will be the apparent efficacy of this untruth.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
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
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
Daniel Day-Lewis
To people who don't know me I'm defined by a number of things that people know about me that are entirely untrue.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I broke things to get attention.
Daniel Day-Lewis
You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.
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.
