I'm very often still very much alive for that other being and that other world long after the film is finished
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
There are always practical decisions to be made about any character you're playing.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
Very often there's this misapprehension about actors being people that need to display themselves, to reveal themselves in public.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

It must be hard interviewing actors.

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.

Daniel Day-Lewis
Image

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 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
You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film - you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I hate the domestic life.
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
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.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
I can't honestly account for the very personal response that I have to one story and not another, a sense of an orbit, the orbit of a world that draws me as my own life recedes.
