Edward Norton
Image
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.
Edward Norton

In drama, I think, the audience is a willing participant. It's suspending a certain kind of disbelief to try to get something out of a story.
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

I studied French forever, and when do I ever speak French? I clearly should have studied Spanish. I wish I had stuck with music, because that would still be great. I really wish I had learned to surf earlier in my life.

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.
Edward Norton
Image
Instead of telling the world what you're eating for breakfast, you can use social networking to do something that's meaningful.
Edward Norton
Image
Young people know how to use these social networking tools, and they know how to use them effectively.
Edward Norton
Image
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
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
Edward Norton
Image
I wish I were more musically gifted, more intuitive in playing instruments.
Edward Norton
Image
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
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
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

Remarkably, there's no green screen in 'Leaves of Grass' movie. There is motion control. Technically, there were all sorts of challenges, but really the soul of it is Edward Norton talent. You write these characters when you write a movie, and all you can hope for or depend on is that your actors will elevate the material.
