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.

More quotes by Edward Norton
It's better for people to miss you than to have seen too much of you.
Edward Norton
I wish I were more musically gifted, more intuitive in playing instruments.
Edward Norton
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
Edward Norton
You dream as an actor's director of letting moments breathe through two-shots.
Edward Norton
On the downside, to paraphrase Thom Yorke talking about the music business, we're still having to deal with the stench of the last fart of the dying corpse of this regressive vision that America is a white, middle-aged, male, conservative country.
Edward Norton
I don't think you should sit around and wait for people to give you an opportunity to express yourself or do your work, or whatever. Actors have to be producers and writers have to be producers.
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
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 just don't think most of us are aware how much of what we throw away ends up in the ocean, for starters. Plastic bags are among the worst. The US is actually falling behind the curve on that score. China and many other countries have already banned the production and use of thin plastic bags.
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
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
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
Edward Norton
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be.
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
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
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
You know when somebody really knows what they're drawing from and you can feel it when you see the movie.
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
You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label.
