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 187 quotes

You never make all things for...

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.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

Duality is not a story. Duali...

Duality is not a story. Duality is just a complexity.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

In drama, I think, the audien...

In drama, I think, the audience is a willing participant. It's suspending a certain kind of disbelief to try to get something out of a story.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

Basically, I think 21st century conservation is moving toward preserving ecosystems by dealing with the needs of people.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

I'm fascinated by the ways in...

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.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

I think we really feel like C...

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 187 quotes

Well, I don't feel that I've ...

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.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

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.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

I always felt that acting was...

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 187 quotes

I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters' inner struggles.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

I like it when the deeper you...

I like it when the deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

Look, you've got a generation...

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 187 quotes

I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

Every little thing that peopl...

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 187 quotes

I've always thought of acting...

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.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

I never think that a film sho...

I never think that a film should answer questions for you. I think it should make you ask a lot of questions.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

I think a lot of people in th...

I think a lot of people in their average day actually imagine two sides of a conversation at one point or another. I think that the mental trick of holding two sides of a conversation in your head is actually something that we all do.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

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.

Edward Norton 187 quotes

Instead of telling the world ...

Instead of telling the world what you're eating for breakfast, you can use social networking to do something that's meaningful.
