More quotes by 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
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be.
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 tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what's interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up.
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
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 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
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've always liked the idea of taking old dramatic ideas and devices and making them feel relevant or contemporary or whatever.
Edward Norton
Any questions I had about whether a redneck from Oklahoma could become a Brown Classical Philosophy professor ended when I met Tim [Blake Nelson].
Edward Norton
Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.
Edward Norton
If I ever have to stop taking the subway, I'm gonna have a heart attack.
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'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
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
Edward Norton
Sometimes their oppression of emotion and the weird way it comes out is more interesting than painting it in bold primary colors.
Edward Norton
You dream as an actor's director of letting moments breathe through two-shots.
Edward Norton
I'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
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
People are worried about the degree to which corporate interest is starting to threaten human interest.
