I never think that a film should answer questions for you. I think it should make you ask a lot of questions.

Just because you've made a couple movies, you've done some good movies, you've been nominated for some Academy Awards, whatever, nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it, I can think they're wrong, but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.

From Edward Norton

You never make all things for all people and can't always pander to the broadest denominator. I keep an eye toward doing the themes that interest me. Do they move me? Interest me? Make me think? When I run across something that is provocative in an unsettling way, it appeals to me.

From Edward Norton

Well, I don't feel that I've played so many bad guys, and I'm rot really drawn to villains per se. I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters' inner struggles.

From Edward Norton

The film industry needs to confront the physical footprint of the way films get made.

From Edward Norton

Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard very strictly against it.

From Edward Norton

I do find myself drawn more to pieces that I feel are wrestling with the way that we're living now, what we're all going through.

From Edward Norton

People wrestle sometimes making movies, and I think that conflict is a very essential thing. I think a lot of very happy productions have produced a lot of very banal movies.

From Edward Norton

Every little thing that people know about you as a person impedes your ability to achieve that kind of terrific suspension of disbelief that happens when an audience goes with an actor and character he's playing.

From Edward Norton

I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.
