More quotes by 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
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
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
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
Edward Norton
It's better for people to miss you than to have seen too much of you.
Edward Norton
The incentive for business is not, and cannot, be anything other than the root incentive for all business: they must profit.
Edward Norton
I'm not particularly precious about the theatrical experience any more.
Edward Norton
I'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
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
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
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
Edward Norton
People say you can't make movies about your politics or the environment. And, generally speaking, I completely divide those sides of my brain.
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
If two people are at completely different stages in their spiritual life, that can present a real problem.
Edward Norton
There are tens of thousands of charities and hundreds of thousands, getting towards millions, of people now using it. And when I flip through it, I'm just blown away by people.
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
You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label.
Edward Norton
Young people know how to use these social networking tools, and they know how to use them effectively.
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
Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not.
