I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot.
From Daniel Day-Lewis
My main memories of my father are of his illness.
I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.
To people who don't know me I'm defined by a number of things that people know about me that are entirely untrue.
As actors, we're all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, 'Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.'
Everybody has to know for themselves what they're capable of.
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.
I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.
For about a year, I just didn't know what to do. I did laboring jobs, working in the docks, construction sites.
I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.
