Edward Norton
Image
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

As we say in the sewer, if you're not prepared to go all the way, don't put your boots on in the first place.
Edward Norton
Image
In drama, I think, the audience is a willing participant. It's suspending a certain kind of disbelief to try to get something out of a story.
Edward Norton
Image
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
Edward Norton
Image
You can't control everything that comes to you.
