All people are paradoxical. No one is easily reducible, so I like characters who have contradictory impulses or shades of ambiguity. It's fun, and it's fun because it's hard.
Edward Norton
Anybody who is running a marathon or doing a walkathon, doing a fundraiser for their school, their company, by far it's guaranteed the easiest and most fun way to quickly set up a fundraising campaign and send it around to your friends and family.
Edward Norton
Every little thing that people know about you as a person impedes your ability to achieve that kind of terrific suspension of disbelief that happens when an audience goes with an actor and character he's playing.
Edward Norton
Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard very strictly against it.
Edward Norton
I almost forgot what it's like to be proud of my government.
Edward Norton
I always felt that acting was an escape, like having the secret key to every door and permission to go into any realm and soak it up. I enjoy that free pass.
Edward Norton
I do find myself drawn more to pieces that I feel are wrestling with the way that we're living now, what we're all going through.
Edward Norton
I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.
Edward Norton
I get heartbroken flying into L.A. It's just this feeling of unspecific loss. Can you imagine what the San Fernando Valley was when it was all wheat fields? Can you imagine what John Steinbeck saw?
Edward Norton
I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.
Edward Norton
I never think that a film should answer questions for you. I think it should make you ask a lot of questions.
Edward Norton
I think we really feel like Crowdrise could be something that, 20 years from now, people take for granted because that's just how you do it, like if you're going to raise money for something, that's how you do it.
Edward Norton
If I ever have to stop taking the subway, I'm gonna have a heart attack.
Edward Norton
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
Edward Norton
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.
Edward Norton
Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.
Edward Norton
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.
Edward Norton
Most of the films that I've ever really responded to are ones that I feel were really involved in their times.
Edward Norton
People wrestle sometimes making movies, and I think that conflict is a very essential thing. I think a lot of very happy productions have produced a lot of very banal movies.
Edward Norton
The film industry needs to confront the physical footprint of the way films get made.
Edward Norton
