Quintessence of Dust

Daniel Day Lewis interviewed by Eileen Myles in 1990

  • Eileen: In some weird way, the spaces between the work are what's interesting.
  • Daniel: Definitely. That part is obscured when you're young because your drive is always leading you from one place to another. It's the resting places or the periods of lying fallow where you do the real work.
  • Eileen: The thing that's scary about not doing anything or not doing what people are inviting you to do, is you feel like you're facing death in a way.
  • Daniel: Yeah, I think you're right. It's little death and you have lots of little practices.
