Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.
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
