Day Lewis
film not-sure film-set
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
character decision made
There are always practical decisions to be made about any character you're playing.
jobs years docks
For about a year, I just didn't know what to do. I did laboring jobs, working in the docks, construction sites.
giving actors interviews
Actors should never give interviews.
serious
I've got a serious-looking head.
grateful be-grateful
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
thinking miracle parenthood
When it comes to parenthood everyone thinks they will be terrible at it. We don't think we have it in us. Then you find out that you do, which truly is a miracle in life.
character reflection voice
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
reason-why reason fingers
You can never fully put your finger on the reason why you're suddenly, inexplicably compelled to explore one life as opposed to another.
lying eight rehearsal
I don't like to rehearse. And I couldn't understand how you could go through eight weeks of rehearsal, without exhausting every possibility. To the point where, you know, you would just lie gasping on the floor!
long rooms hours
I find it difficult to be in rooms now for long periods of time. I can usually take it for about an hour. Then I stride out.
track
I'm woefully one-track-minded.
I'm not keen on history being tampered with... to any extent.
honestly picky
I'm not picky, quite honestly.
