Edward Norton Quotes
I grew up on the golden age of children's TV.
The best films of any kind, narrative or documentary, provoke questions.
Just because you've made a couple movies, you've done some good movies, you've been nominated for some Academy Awards, whatever, nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it, I can think they're wrong, but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.
If you've got a piece and you can feel the person who's going to direct it is really made for it, if it's really special for them, then it's going to be a better-than-usual experience.
I'm not particularly precious about the theatrical experience any more.

I like making movies for myself and my friends and people with my sensibility.
I just love movies.
Look, you've got a generation of people coming along who are going to form their own new relationship with the idea of supporting the causes that they care about or changing the world. And these people are not going to do it the way our parents do it.
I've always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You're trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that's about so you can represent it.

Poem of the day
Melville And Coghill - The Place Of The Little Hand
by Andrew Lang
DEAD, with their eyes to the foe,
Dead, with the foe at their feet;
Under the sky laid low
