Well, I don't feel that I've played so many bad guys, and I'm rot really drawn to villains per se. I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters' inner struggles.

More quotes by Edward Norton
You dream as an actor's director of letting moments breathe through two-shots.
Edward Norton
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.
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 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
If there's a criteria that really gets me interested in a work besides any type of personal interaction with the theme, it's if I feel like this is the right piece of work for that director at that moment in their career.
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
On the downside, to paraphrase Thom Yorke talking about the music business, we're still having to deal with the stench of the last fart of the dying corpse of this regressive vision that America is a white, middle-aged, male, conservative country.
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
I just don't think most of us are aware how much of what we throw away ends up in the ocean, for starters. Plastic bags are among the worst. The US is actually falling behind the curve on that score. China and many other countries have already banned the production and use of thin plastic bags.
Edward Norton
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
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
As we say in the sewer, time and tide wait for no man.
Edward Norton
If two people are at completely different stages in their spiritual life, that can present a real problem.
Edward Norton
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
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
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
The film industry needs to confront the physical footprint of the way films get made.
Edward Norton
Making really great music, making really great films, writing great books is an antidote to all of that. And, as people, as artists, some of the massive disruption that technology is causing is so exciting, the way that people can share creativity now.
Edward Norton
You know when somebody really knows what they're drawing from and you can feel it when you see the movie.
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
