If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
Edward Norton
Image
As an actor, I don't have any politics. As an actor, I'm driven more by an authentic - I would say an obsessive-compulsive-disorder level-fixation on mimicry, tonality of voice, to literally imitate something until I can just disappear into it.

Image
The Zionist Tulsa Jew who's pugnacious is a reality. I grew up around it. And I think it's really, really funny and surprising and unlikely.
Edward Norton
Image
I've always liked the idea of taking old dramatic ideas and devices and making them feel relevant or contemporary or whatever.
Edward Norton
Image
You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label.
Edward Norton
Image
You always end up getting involved in things because of, you know, the strange things your life brings you into contact with.

I had a huge advantage with Edward Norton because he's directed a movie before, so one thing he appreciates is how hard my job is, he's very sensitive to that. We actually ended up finishing Leaves of Grass a day early.

My greatest hope is that we transcend the most fearful thing, which is that we are rapidly degrading the ecological systems on this planet that support everything we are doing and all life on it.

You know when somebody really knows what they're drawing from and you can feel it when you see the movie.
Edward Norton
Image
The thing I'm absolutely convinced of, no matter how crazy - technological the world is getting, is that people feel more connected through the good works. Entertainment, and the sort of soporific effect it has on people and their stress, is one thing.

Anybody who is running a marathon or doing a walkathon, doing a fundraiser for their school, their company, by far it's guaranteed the easiest and most fun way to quickly set up a fundraising campaign and send it around to your friends and family.
Edward Norton
Image
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be.
Edward Norton
Image
A lot of why I do something is just the novelty of the experience.
Edward Norton
Image
I remember as a kid having the offer of a scholarship, that it was going to be like going to Mars, and deciding to stay in my public school.
Edward Norton
Image
I think technology is having a democratising effect on film.
Edward Norton
Image
The deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away. It's more challenging to me, but it's also just interesting. Those are the things I like to watch. I like to watch the evolutions of something.

Image
If I ever have to stop taking the subway, I'm gonna have a heart attack.
Edward Norton
Image
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
Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not.
Edward Norton
Image
I'm pretty busy in my life and I'm very aware of what it takes to direct a movie. It takes a lot out of you it takes a lot out of the rest of your life, from other people in your life. I don't lie around hungering for that consumption very often.
