Day Lewis speaks out...

Oscar winning actor Daniel Day Lewis has spoken for the first time about how he came back from being a recluse in his secret Irish home to making The Gangs of New York with Martin Scorsese.

"When Martin started to talk is was not without a sense of dread that I felt drawn back into his orbit. I was thinking oh my god don't lead me back into this. But, to my mind it was a very great privilege to be asked once in one's lifetime to work with this man. If he goes looking for you a second time it's almost impossible to turn away."

The star's career took a turn for the worst after the movie he made with the Irish director Jim Sheridan, The Boxer dived at the box office. After hits such as The last of the Mohicans and My Left Foot for which he won his Oscar films insiders worried that the star would totally turn his back on the movie industry forever after he turned down role after role.

So does he have any regrets about the path his choose?

"The number of times people have told me I'd ruin my career by turning down something is pathetic" said the actor who's first film for Scorsese was the 1993 classic The age of Innocence.

And is the industry different and is he finding it easier?

"Nothing happened to me during the course of filming that made me think why don't I do this more often. I was just how I remembered it and probably a lot harder."

Working with stars such as Liam Neeson and Leoardo Di Caprio was not too interesting for the star who claims they never got to know each other really.

"Everyone is living in their own private purgatory and trying to deal with it as best they can" the actor said.

Day Lewis was speaking to the UK press.
