Image
I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
One of the great privileges of having grown up in a middle-class literary English household, but having gone to school in the front lines in Southeast London, was that I became half-street-urchin and half-good-boy at home. I knew that dichotomy was possible.

Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.

Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
God knows, I haven't always been successful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
It must be hard interviewing actors.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I feel less often compelled to do the work than I was in the past.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.

Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing
