More quotes by Edward Norton
The film industry needs to confront the physical footprint of the way films get made.
Edward Norton
I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.
Edward Norton
Just because you've made a couple movies, you've done some good movies, you've been nominated for some Academy Awards, whatever, nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it, I can think they're wrong, but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.
Edward Norton
People say you can't make movies about your politics or the environment. And, generally speaking, I completely divide those sides of my brain.
Edward Norton
There are tens of thousands of charities and hundreds of thousands, getting towards millions, of people now using it. And when I flip through it, I'm just blown away by people.
Edward Norton
When I think of my background, if I was privileged on any level, it was in terms of the kind of exposure to experience and bohe-mian cultural influence that my parents and my uncles and my grandfather gave me. On both sides I come from an extremely eccentric, artsy, intellectually intense, activist family.
Edward Norton
When I was about 16 or 17, I had a teacher who took a group of us to the National Theater in Washington, D.C., and I saw Ian McKellen do his one-man show - I think it was called Acting Shakespeare - and it completely bombed me it put the zap on my brain in a big way.
Edward Norton
With Edward Norton you'd never say, This is the one we're going with whether you like it or not. It has to be agreed upon.
Edward Norton
People are worried about the degree to which corporate interest is starting to threaten human interest.
Edward Norton
For me there's always a line or two in a script, when you hit it you almost decide to do the whole movie off a line or two. You almost do it for the fun of getting to say a line or two like that. I don't have any specific plans, you know. I mean, if Seth Rogen calls with a great buddy pic, I'll be there.
Edward Norton
Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard very strictly against it.
Edward Norton
Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.
Edward Norton
I start to get fixated on a story and a character and an idea, and at a certain point, I really want to do it. It's a compulsion to explore a specific thing, as opposed to a compulsion to direct, generally speaking.
Edward Norton
There's a lot of romanticisation of the intuitive actor and method acting and all kinds of notions about getting inside a character and coming out from there.
Edward Norton
You dream as an actor's director of letting moments breathe through two-shots.
Edward Norton
You can't control everything that comes to you.
Edward Norton
Most of what I know about environmental conservation I learned from my father, who has been a leader within the movement for over 30 years.
Edward Norton
I don't think you should sit around and wait for people to give you an opportunity to express yourself or do your work, or whatever. Actors have to be producers and writers have to be producers.
Edward Norton
I hear about actors being exterior actors and actors being instinctual actors and I always think it's crap. Anybody who knows anything about it knows that good actors do both - they do inside-outward and they do outside-inward. You can't not do both.
Edward Norton
You can do things in twin scenes now you couldn't before. You can implement actual moving cameras.
Edward Norton
