Daniel Day-Lewis ravings

Because none of my friends shares the same enthusiasm, or actually, none has seen "Lincoln", I must talk to myself, you see. If you aren't interested, just ignore me.

9/ Not exaggerating, I, having known about him since 2009, still sometimes have difficulty believing it's really him in "Gangs of New York" and "There will be blood".

20/ Daniel "doesn't much like to dwell on past achievements, but instead to look forward. Consequently, he doesn't display his Oscar and Bafta statuettes at home. Seeing them every day, and being reminded of what they represent, would unsettle him. He does have one award on display, though: for Best Newcomer 2005.

"It's from my local running club."
The sparkle in his eyes reignites.
"I absolutely cherish it," he says."
