Daniel Day Lewis's guide to taking it easy

Hello hello!

Danny DL here. When I met a drunken Jack Nicholson at the oscars aftershow party in 1989 he gave me some tips on acting and living. They involved sneering while doing both and drinking and doing drugs. How dreadful i thought to myself. I prefer my method acting, heck i broke two ribs in me when i was doing my left foot with leaning in the wheelchair all day - dont believe me then check wikipedia and come look at my shiny oscar in my mansion in italy na na.
Anyways Jack Nicholson tried to kill me is what I'm trying to say. He called over to my motel the next day in his convertable with two pretty girls in it and suggested we take a drive over to his production offices on sunset boolevard. OK says I and hopped in wrapping my scarf tight around my neck. We went over and the girls went to work as hookers on the boulevard (it turned out jack carpooled with them) he then brought out a script from the safe that had written on it

THE DANIEL DAY-LEWIS STORY

STARRING
DANIEL DAY-LEWIS as DANIEL DAY-LEWIS



Oh Golly! thought I to myself inside of my head. I'm such a dedicated actor and i really go to extraordinary lengths to make my role convincing but how could i act as myself, I would have to study my own behaviors - I'd have to create some sort of mobile mirror dome that would fit on my head so i could always see my reactions and then over maybe a year and all the stuff that happens in my life I could better understand my personality, but then i realized if i was analyzing my actions how could they ever be genuine and I truly wouldn't get a measure of how i was really reacting. I stumbled out of Jacks offices with his triumphant laughter ringing in my ears and spun through the city for two weeks in a haze of action and reaction. Over the next year i was a mystery to myself because I couldn't move without analyzing what had caused me to do it, it was total poo! The moral of the story is that Jack Nicholson will do anything to retain his status as the worlds leading method actor. He is currently locked in a battle of wits with Robert DeNiro which he is winning rather easily and I'm sticking to low budget, high kudos films of quality so lesson learned.
