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.

More quotes by 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
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
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
It's better for people to miss you than to have seen too much of you.
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
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
People are worried about the degree to which corporate interest is starting to threaten human interest.
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
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
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.
Edward Norton
You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label.
Edward Norton
I knew Danny DeVito and he knew me, so he wanted me to try Death to Smoochy. I loved that stuff and had a great time doing it.
Edward Norton
Just because you've made a couple movies, you've done some good movies, you've been nominated for some Academy Awards, whatever, nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it, I can think they're wrong, but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.
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
To me, Fight Club was a comedy. When [David] Fincher sent me the book and I read it, the first thing I asked him was, This is a comedy, right? he said, Yeah, that's the whole point, and I said, Okay, I'm in. I certainly wasn't imagining myself as a dramatic actor when I was running around in my underwear in that film.
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
You can do things in twin scenes now you couldn't before. You can implement actual moving cameras.
Edward Norton
I think technology is having a democratising effect on film.
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
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be.
Edward Norton
