Christy Quotes


Playing the part of Christy Brown left me with a sense of setting myself on a course, of trying to achieve something that was utterly out of reach.

- Daniel Day-Lewis

(while filming My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown (1989)) I needed - and I still need - to create a particular environment. I need to find the right kind of silence or light or noise. Whatever is necessary - and it is always different. I know it sounds a little fussy and a little ridiculous, but finding your own rhythm is one of the most important things you can discover about yourself. And you have to observe it. As actors, we`re all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful. So, it`s not without a sense of gratitude that I work. But I couldn`t do this work at all unless I did it in my own rhythm. It became a choice between stopping and taking the time I needed.
