London:
Actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who istipped to win his third Oscar for his turn in Lincoln, sayshe would not want to make back-to-back movies.
The 55-year-old is thankful he does not need to workcontinuously and can take time between projects, reportedDigital Spy.
"Some actors work back to back because they have to, andI completely respect that. If financially I found my familyneeded me to do that then I would find some way of doing it.Thanks be to God I haven't been put in that position.
"I may be very uneasy - truth is I'd probably sooner goand try and find work in the construction crew than make filmsback to back. The reason is it would completely destroy myenthusiasm for that work," he said.
Speaking about his role in Lincoln, Day-Lewis said thathe valued the time he was given by director Steven Spielbergto develop his character.
"Aloneness was one of the gifts that Steven allowed me.He recognised in me the need to feel that aloneness - that heallowed me that space to feel that aloneness. Being the leaderof the free world during a civil war is unimaginably lonely somy job was to imagine that."
Lincoln is nominated for 12 Academy Awards, including'Best Picture', 'Best Actor' and 'Best Director'.
