More quotes by Edward Norton
As an actor, I don't have any politics. As an actor, I'm driven more by an authentic - I would say an obsessive-compulsive-disorder level-fixation on mimicry, tonality of voice, to literally imitate something until I can just disappear into it.
Edward Norton
All people are paradoxical. No one is easily reducible, so I like characters who have contradictory impulses or shades of ambiguity. It's fun, and it's fun because it's hard.
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
I like it when the deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away.

Edward Norton
The more you do your homework, the more you're free to be intuitive. But you've got to put the work in.
Edward Norton
The film industry needs to confront the physical footprint of the way films get made.
Edward Norton
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.
Edward Norton
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be.
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
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
Young people know how to use these social networking tools, and they know how to use them effectively.
Edward Norton
Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not.
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
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
Edward Norton
