Day Lewis
attention broke
I broke things to get attention.
humanity easy far-away
It's easy to love humanity when you're this far away from it.
want film resurgence
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.
stories world orbit
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.
successful god-knows havens
God knows, I haven't always been successful.
memories father illness
My main memories of my father are of his illness.
curiosity periods
My curiosity sustains me for the period of the shoot.
pride past i-can
I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride.
feet lasts last-time
The last time I was on a small set would've been probably My Left Foot.
cooks
I like to cook things very slowly.
I like to learn about things.
years years-ago next
Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.
taken mean writing
If you remain unsettled by a piece of writing, it means you are not watching the story from the outside; you've already taken a step towards it.
gone may bed
When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.
