More quotes by Edward Norton
Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not.
Edward Norton
I hear about actors being exterior actors and actors being instinctual actors and I always think it's crap. Anybody who knows anything about it knows that good actors do both - they do inside-outward and they do outside-inward. You can't not do both.
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
Instead of telling the world what you're eating for breakfast, you can use social networking to do something that's meaningful.
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 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 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
You know when somebody really knows what they're drawing from and you can feel it when you see the movie.
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
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
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
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
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.
Edward Norton
When I think about directing a film, the thing that stops me short is wondering if I'm a natural at it the way I think you, and PTA, and Fincher are born directors. Maybe some people's talent is in understanding the ways that film communicates, without dialogue, without plot.
Edward Norton
Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.
Edward Norton
I'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
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
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
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
Edward Norton
