More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
Everybody has to know for themselves what they're capable of.
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
It must be hard interviewing actors.
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
Perhaps I'm particularly serious, because I'm not unaware of the potential absurdity of what I'm doing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
