Image
When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn't have. And, in hindsight, I've almost always been wrong when I haven't listened to myself.
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
I spend many months in apparently listless rumination out of which I hope something will emerge.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I hate wasting people's time.
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

Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image

Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
It's easy to love humanity when you're this far away from it.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I hate the domestic life.
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
There are always practical decisions to be made about any character you're playing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
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.
