More quotes by Edward Norton
Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.
Edward Norton
If two people are at completely different stages in their spiritual life, that can present a real problem.
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 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
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 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 had a huge advantage with Edward Norton because he's directed a movie before, so one thing he appreciates is how hard my job is, he's very sensitive to that. We actually ended up finishing Leaves of Grass a day early.
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
If you try to make interesting films, you're going to be disappointed most of the time. I choose just not to look at it that way.
Edward Norton
As we say in the sewer, if you're not prepared to go all the way, don't put your boots on in the first place.
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've always liked the idea of taking old dramatic ideas and devices and making them feel relevant or contemporary or whatever.
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
You can't control everything that comes to you.
Edward Norton
Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not.
Edward Norton
Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard very strictly against it.
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 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
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.
Edward Norton
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.
Edward Norton
