More quotes by 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 remember as a kid having the offer of a scholarship, that it was going to be like going to Mars, and deciding to stay in my public school.
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
Instead of telling the world what you're eating for breakfast, you can use social networking to do something that's meaningful.
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'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
Edward Norton
Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.

In drama, I think, the audience is a willing participant. It's suspending a certain kind of disbelief to try to get something out of a story.
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
Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard very strictly against it.
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
