More quotes by Edward Norton
I've always liked the idea of taking old dramatic ideas and devices and making them feel relevant or contemporary or whatever.
Edward Norton
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
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
You dream as an actor's director of letting moments breathe through two-shots.
Edward Norton
You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label.
Edward Norton
The film industry needs to confront the physical footprint of the way films get made.
Edward Norton
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
Edward Norton
Young people know how to use these social networking tools, and they know how to use them effectively.
Edward Norton
I'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
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
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
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
Most of what I know about environmental conservation I learned from my father, who has been a leader within the movement for over 30 years.
Edward Norton
When people come together too young, they try to become one person. As you get older, you realize that you don't want to become one person because then you lose the person you are.
Edward Norton
All people are paradoxical. No one is easily reducible, so I like characters who have contradictory impulses or shades of ambiguity. It's fun, and it's fun because it's hard.
Edward Norton
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
You know when somebody really knows what they're drawing from and you can feel it when you see the movie.
Edward Norton
I get heartbroken flying into L.A. It's just this feeling of unspecific loss. Can you imagine what the San Fernando Valley was when it was all wheat fields? Can you imagine what John Steinbeck saw?
Edward Norton
For me there's always a line or two in a script, when you hit it you almost decide to do the whole movie off a line or two. You almost do it for the fun of getting to say a line or two like that. I don't have any specific plans, you know. I mean, if Seth Rogen calls with a great buddy pic, I'll be there.
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
