Daniel Day-Lewis Film Quotations

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.

I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.

Films exhaust me, they do, and I often want nothing more to do with them, but I'm continually surprised at the resurgence of the impulse to come back and do it all over again.

I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.

Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing

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.
