American - Actor Born: August 18, 1969
Duality is not a story. Duality is just a complexity. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
The best films of any kind, narrative or documentary, provoke questions. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard very strictly against it. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
It's better for people to miss you than to have seen too much of you. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
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. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I tend to have a kind of tunnel vision when I'm looking at an individual piece. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
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. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I remember as a kid having the offer of a scholarship, that it was going to be like going to Mars, and deciding to stay in my public school. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
When I'm the one who sits down and looks at the blank page and writes it out all the way, then I'll call it my script. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
My generation is having its midlife crisis in its 20s. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
You can't control everything that comes to you. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
The more you can create that magic bubble, that suspension of disbelief, for a while, the better. - Edward Norton
The more you can create that magic bubble, that suspension of disbelief, for a while, the better. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I don't flatter myself - I'm not a scientist, I'm not a conservation expert. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I just like working with smart people. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters' inner struggles. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I read a lot of scripts and so many are clearly a knockoff of one familiar genre or another. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
A lot of why I do something is just the novelty of the experience. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Identical twins are endemically alike in many ways. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I like music, but I need to get outside more. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
The people who work in the scientific field, they need help to convey what it's about. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I like it when the deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
At this point in my life I'm not bent on proving anything, really. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
The film industry needs to confront the physical footprint of the way films get made. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I like making movies for myself and my friends and people with my sensibility. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
If I ever have to stop taking the subway, I'm gonna have a heart attack. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I like things that aren't superficially one thing or another. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
The period western doesn't have a lot to say to most people today. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I almost forgot what it's like to be proud of my government. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
No, I'm not a very methodologically pure actor. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Young people know how to use these social networking tools, and they know how to use them effectively. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
You always end up getting involved in things because of, you know, the strange things your life brings you into contact with. Share this Quote
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. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Instead of telling the world what you're eating for breakfast, you can use social networking to do something that's meaningful. Share this Quote
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. Share this Quote
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. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I grew up on the golden age of children's TV. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what's interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing. Share this Quote
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. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I never think that a film should answer questions for you. I think it should make you ask a lot of questions. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
You never make all things for all people and can't always pander to the broadest denominator. I keep an eye toward doing the themes that interest me. Do they move me? Interest me? Make me think? When I run across something that is provocative in an unsettling way, it appeals to me. Share this Quote
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. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Well, I don't feel that I've played so many bad guys, and I'm rot really drawn to villains per se. I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters' inner struggles. Share this Quote
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. Share this Quote
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. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
When you're working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they're pushing it. The first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Most of the films that I've ever really responded to are ones that I feel were really involved in their times. Share this Quote
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. Share this Quote
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? Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I'm fascinated by the ways in which people express themselves, because their responses are often counter to what they're actually feeling. Like when they're frightened, they tend to freeze. When they're angry, it doesn't always come out as volume. There are wonderful contradictions in the way that people express their emotions. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
There's a lot of romanticisation of the intuitive actor and method acting and all kinds of notions about getting inside a character and coming out from there. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
I'm a New Yorker, you know. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
Basically, I think 21st century conservation is moving toward preserving ecosystems by dealing with the needs of people. Share this Quote
Edward Norton
