I've observed over and over that people seem to get a much deeper sense of fulfillment out of something they've done as an act of service than out of the things they do for themselves.

More quotes by Edward Norton
You always end up getting involved in things because of, you know, the strange things your life brings you into contact with.
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
You know when somebody really knows what they're drawing from and you can feel it when you see the movie.
Edward Norton
It's better for people to miss you than to have seen too much of you.
Edward Norton
I don't flatter myself - I'm not a scientist, I'm not a conservation expert.
Edward Norton
Instead of telling the world what you're eating for breakfast, you can use social networking to do something that's meaningful.
Edward Norton
What has always been most interesting about acting to me personally is that it affords you the chance to shift gears, both in terms of the experiences you get to have through doing it, but also the different kinds of things you get to represent.
Edward Norton
I thought Rounders was a comic movie in its way. First time I directed a movie, I wanted to do a comedy. I don't like things that are superficially one thing or another, mainly. My favorite comedies are really smart, too, and have a lot of levels to them as well.
Edward Norton
Young people know how to use these social networking tools, and they know how to use them effectively.
Edward Norton
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
Edward Norton
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.
Edward Norton
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be.
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
I think it's a total fallacy for people to say, You couldn't make those old movies today. I think there's more ways to get a movie made today than ever in the history of the entertainment industry. It's a very exciting time to work in movies, if you're a creative person looking to make a very personal, weird vision.
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
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
The incentive for business is not, and cannot, be anything other than the root incentive for all business: they must profit.
Edward Norton
There are tens of thousands of charities and hundreds of thousands, getting towards millions, of people now using it. And when I flip through it, I'm just blown away by people.
Edward Norton
A lot of why I do something is just the novelty of the experience.
Edward Norton
I like to get into a lot of things besides movies. I've been very involved with a few specific efforts. We built this park in New York and it's been a very successful project... I worked on a conservation project in East Africa... Too much of this type of stuff can get you wrapped up in your own work and I love it.
Edward Norton
