More quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
To people who don't know me I'm defined by a number of things that people know about me that are entirely untrue.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I hate the domestic life.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
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.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
Daniel Day-Lewis
When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn't have. And, in hindsight, I've almost always been wrong when I haven't listened to myself.
Daniel Day-Lewis
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I broke things to get attention.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I like to cook things very slowly.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I spend many months in apparently listless rumination out of which I hope something will emerge.
Daniel Day-Lewis
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
I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.
Daniel Day-Lewis
