I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
Ireland was a place for the renewal of hope and I still see it like that.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
For about a year, I just didn't know what to do. I did laboring jobs, working in the docks, construction sites.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
England is obsessed with where you came from, and they are determined to keep you in that place, be it in a drawing room or in the gutter.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I can't honestly account for the very personal response that I have to one story and not another, a sense of an orbit, the orbit of a world that draws me as my own life recedes.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
How people are around a director, it really does affect everything, every detail of the life of the movie.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I don't know what impression you might have of the way I live. I live in a quiet place. I do not live as a hermit, though other people would prefer it if I did.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I suppose the place where I live is fairly remote, it would seem remote to some people.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I think I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not really aware of that time passing. I don't feel that I'm wasteful with time. But I'm not aware of it passing.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
Quite honestly, if I were doing work related to a living being or historical being where there was visual or audio recordings available, I would find that extremely difficult because I don't know how you would avoid the process of mimicry. And mimicry, to me at any rate, is a very dull prospect.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
If you have a certain wildness of spirit, a cabinet maker's workshop is not the place to express it.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
For as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment and renewal... has always been the work of other actors.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I avoid talking about the way I work. But in avoiding it I seem only to have encouraged people to focus their fantasies about me in an ever more fantastical way.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
One of the great privileges of having grown up in a middle-class literary English household, but having gone to school in the front lines in Southeast London, was that I became half-street-urchin and half-good-boy at home. I knew that dichotomy was possible.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
Well, we all have murderous thoughts throughout the day, if not the week.
Quote by -Daniel Day-Lewis
I suppose it's a very highly developed form of denial, but some part of me completely denies that I'm a performer.
