Day Lewis
courage cut deck sang shall sings though wave
I sang as one / Who on a tilting deck sings / To keep men's courage up, though the wave hangs / That shall cut off their sun.
landscape life-is enriching
I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
doe film spectators
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.

I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot.

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.
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.

I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.

You can never fully put your finger on the reason why you're suddenly, inexplicably compelled to explore one life as opposed to another.
design way lucky
At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.
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.
grateful be-grateful
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
drawing rooms england
England is obsessed with where you came from, and they are determined to keep you in that place, be it in a drawing room or in the gutter.
intrigued
I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
eye faces members
As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.
