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
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.

You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.

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
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

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

I suppose that anyone who does any kind of creative work some time in their life - especially as you grow into middle age! - you come to a time where you really question more and more frequently, whether you have anything else to offer. And at its worst, you feel utterly bereft of whatever creative force it takes to do that work.

I like to learn about things.
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.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
The greater your powers of self-delusion, the greater will be the apparent efficacy of this untruth.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I'm not actually a big musical fan.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I became conflicted in my late teens.
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 never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.
