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
I'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
Edward Norton
I don't flatter myself - I'm not a scientist, I'm not a conservation expert.

Edward Norton
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
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
Obviously plastics have served very important purposes and been incredibly convenient but as we begin to witness the long-term consequences of the chemical components leaching into our water and our bodies, we're going to be forced to look for alternatives to how we package goods and food.
Edward Norton
Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.
Edward Norton
The film industry needs to confront the physical footprint of the way films get made.
Edward Norton
I get heartbroken flying into L.A. It's just this feeling of unspecific loss. Can you imagine what the San Fernando Valley was when it was all wheat fields? Can you imagine what John Steinbeck saw?
Edward Norton
To me, Fight Club was a comedy. When [David] Fincher sent me the book and I read it, the first thing I asked him was, This is a comedy, right? he said, Yeah, that's the whole point, and I said, Okay, I'm in. I certainly wasn't imagining myself as a dramatic actor when I was running around in my underwear in that film.
Edward Norton
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
Edward Norton
I always felt that acting was an escape, like having the secret key to every door and permission to go into any realm and soak it up. I enjoy that free pass.
Edward Norton
If you try to make interesting films, you're going to be disappointed most of the time. I choose just not to look at it that way.
Edward Norton
