It must be hard interviewing actors.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I hate wasting people's time.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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

Daniel Day-Lewis
A lot of guys in jail tattoo their hands.
Daniel Day-Lewis
There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm not actually a big musical fan.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I've got a serious-looking head.
Daniel Day-Lewis
You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.
Daniel Day-Lewis
One of the great privileges of having grown up in a middle-class literary English household, but having gone to school in the front lines in Southeast London, was that I became half-street-urchin and half-good-boy at home. I knew that dichotomy was possible.
