To cite my own alma mater, it's shocking to me that Yale University can teach what it teaches at the Yale School of Environmental Studies and utterly fail to mirror those values in any way in its investment practices.

More quotes by 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'm not particularly precious about the theatrical experience any more.
Edward Norton
As we say in the sewer, time and tide wait for no man.
Edward Norton
When I was very small, I had that first-time-you-see-a-play experience, which immediately made me want to act, because it seemed like this incredible outlet for something I was already doing fairly compulsively anyway, which was putting on hats and costumes and doing funny voices. It was a very natural compulsion for me.
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
It's better for people to miss you than to have seen too much of you.
Edward Norton
If I ever have to stop taking the subway, I'm gonna have a heart attack.
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 like it when the deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away.
Edward Norton
The Zionist Tulsa Jew who's pugnacious is a reality. I grew up around it. And I think it's really, really funny and surprising and unlikely.
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
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'm pretty busy in my life and I'm very aware of what it takes to direct a movie. It takes a lot out of you it takes a lot out of the rest of your life, from other people in your life. I don't lie around hungering for that consumption very often.
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
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
If you feel like someone just knows what this is about to their core, they're going to have that special confidence in it.You stop looking at the seams and they start inhabiting the same space and start interacting with each .
Edward Norton
A lot of why I do something is just the novelty of the experience.
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
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
I'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
