Random Daniel Day-Lewis quote

3 quotes

The thing about performance, even if it’s only an illusion, is that it is a celebration of the fact that we do contain within ourselves infinite possibilities.

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.

You don’t merely give over your creativity to making a film—you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option but to confront the mould on last night’s washing-up.
