Daniel Day-Lewis

John Hartoch, Day-Lewis' acting teacher at Bristol Old Vic theatre school, said of his former pupil's achievement,
Although we have quite an impressive alumni – everyone from Jeremy Irons to Patrick Stewart – I suppose he is now probably the best known, and we're very proud of all he's achieved. I certainly hold him up to current students of an example, particularly as an example of how to manage your career with great integrity. He's never courted fame, and as a result, he's never had his private life impeached upon by the press. He's clearly not interested in celebrity as such – he's just interested in his acting. He is still a great craftsman.

Culture today (work in progress)

-
I grew up during postmodernism, the time after modernism when culture questioned modernism's search for truth and meaning, instead embracing multiple meanings and perspectives.  But I've been trying to figure out where we are now. While architecture has moved onto parametricism, society is for sure in the digital age, but the digital age doesn't really describe the culture as much as material situation. I'm beginning to see how society has been effected by the digital age (or how it has changed in general), and it seems to be some kind of almost fractured pre-modernism. With information being so easily and widely spread by anyone, so many ideas and worldviews that would have been remained fringe in the past have been able to gain major traction. The ideas of postmodernism seem to have been a highpoint in intellectual thought, and that traditional is carried forth by fewer and fewer, but it seems cultural and intellectual progress has receded in favor of technological pr
