I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.

Image
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.

Image
It must be hard interviewing actors.
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
The theater is a need for me. It's a terrible attraction, something I'm compelled to do. And one derives a form of nourishment from the theater which you can never get from films. Making films weakens you in some way. With the theater, the work itself is a regenerative process.

I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.

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
I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
There are always practical decisions to be made about any character you're playing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
You can never fully put your finger on the reason why you're suddenly, inexplicably compelled to explore one life as opposed to another.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
The last time I was on a small set would've been probably My Left Foot.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.
