Daniel Day-Lewis is opening up about accepting his decision to quit acting – even if he does not quite understand the decision himself!

“If I knew the answer I’d probably avoid trying to answer it anyway,” the 60-year-old actor recently revealed while attending a screening for his final film Phantom Thread on Thursday (February 1) at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center in Athens, Greece. “But as it happens, I can’t answer the question.”

“I don’t fully understand it, but it came to me with a sense of conviction and so I chose to move forward in acceptance of that rather than struggling with it,” Daniel said, adding that acting was a sanctuary that “saved me from myself when I was a kid. But I just feel it’s time to explore the world in a different way now.”

Daniel is up for Best Actor at 2018 Academy Awards for his role in Phantom Thread.

Here’s what the 60-year-old actor had to share with the mag:

On why he released a statement saying he was quitting acting: “I knew it was uncharacteristic to put out a statement But I did want to draw a line. I didn’t want to get sucked back into another project. All my life, I’ve mouthed off about how I should stop acting, and I don’t know why it was different this time, but the impulse to quit took root in me, and that became a compulsion. It was something I had to do.”

On why he’s quitting: “I need to believe in the value of what I’m doing. The work can seem vital. Irresistible, even. And if an audience believes it, that should be good enough for me. But, lately, it isn’t. I’ve been interested in acting since I was 12 years old, and back then, everything other than the theater�”that box of light�”was cast in shadow. When I began, it was a question of salvation. Now, I want to explore the world in a different way.”
