It's better for people to miss you than to have seen too much of you.
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.

Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
Edward Norton

Edward Norton

The more you do your homework, the more you're free to be intuitive. But you've got to put the work in.
Edward Norton
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label.
Edward Norton
Image
I tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what's interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up.
Edward Norton
Image
I'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
Edward Norton
Image
The incentive for business is not, and cannot, be anything other than the root incentive for all business: they must profit.

If I ever have to stop taking the subway, I'm gonna have a heart attack.
