British-born American Actor
Being at the center of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence — the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.
Daniel Day Lewis – [Stardom]


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.
Daniel Day Lewis – [Acting and Actors]

Daniel Day Lewis – [Acting and Actors]
