Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln
“I miss playing Lincoln. Very much. I miss the proximity to his
character. There was a time in my life when it wasn’t clear
whether or not I would amount to anything. I was fearful about my
future. In England, people were hell-bent on certifying me—to
them, the way I work as an actor is the system of someone who is
unhinged. As a young man, when I saw the early movies by Scorsese, I saw
a way to be, a kind of liberation. In those movies, America seemed like
a place of infinite opportunities. In Lincoln, we tried to show that
sense of grand democratic possibility. We created a world I didn’t
want to leave.”
