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

Image
I come from not just a household but a country where the finesse of language, well-balanced sentence, structure, syntax, these things are driven into us, and my parents, bless them, are great custodians of the English language.

Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.

Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing

I hate wasting people's time.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
My life is devoted to self-delusion - and I have a great capacity for that - but it's the thing that gives me the most pleasure, so I can't complain about it.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Image
The word Amendment itself is an encouraging thing, isn't it? Because an amendment, it tells of a system of government that allows for the improvement of itself. Just move forward a little bit, one day at a time.
Daniel Day-Lewis

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.
