Day Lewis
design way lucky
At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.
hate people competition
I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
defining-moments mark wanted
There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.
strange passing passings
I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.
rooms drink milkshakes
If you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw and my straw reaches across the room and starts to drink your milkshake... I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!
believe self identity
I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.
determination years drunk
I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.
left
I depleted myself to the point where I had nothing left.
quiet easier
I find it easier to work when it's quiet.
long actors remember
For as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment and renewal... has always been the work of other actors.
giving mind lazy
The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.
together film easy
Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing
sadness leaving soul
Leaving a role is a terrible sadness. The last day of the shooting is surreal. Your soul, your body and your mind are not ready at all to see the end of this experience. In the following months after a film shoot, one feels a deep sense of void.
stuff faces deals
I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.
