More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
I spend many months in apparently listless rumination out of which I hope something will emerge.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Film has become such a central part of our culture now that I think sometimes too great a weight is placed upon it in terms of scrutiny and analysis. There's a lot of rather specious professorial stuff that swirls around films.
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 live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
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
I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
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'm not actually a big musical fan.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis
A lot of guys in jail tattoo their hands.
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
My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.
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 have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
It must be hard interviewing actors.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I hate the domestic life.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Very often there's this misapprehension about actors being people that need to display themselves, to reveal themselves in public.
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 just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.
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
