"It just seems like such grandiose gibberish to talk about. I never intended to retire, really. I just stopped doing that particular type of work so I could do some other work. He added: Apparently, I've been accused of retiring twice now. I never meant to retire from anything! I just wanted to work on something else for a while."
"As I get older, it just takes me longer and longer to find my way back to the place where the furnace is burning again. But working with Ro, that furnace just lit up. And it was, from beginning to end, just pure joy to spend that time together with him."
"Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject."
Daniel Day-Lewis said he never intended to retire and regretted talking about it as grandiose gibberish. He returned to acting after an eight-year break to appear in Anemone, directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis. Day-Lewis announced a 2017 retirement after Phantom Thread, accompanied by a statement that he would no longer be working as an actor and that no further comment would be made. He previously stepped away from film between The Boxer (1997) and Gangs of New York (2002) and spent part of that time apprenticing with shoemaker Stefano Bemer. Working with his son reignited his passion despite anxieties about re-engaging with filmmaking.
