About this Quote

In this quote, Edward Norton reveals his view on functioning as a kind of escapism. He describes it as a secret key that opens every door and enables him to check out any realm he desires. This metaphor suggests that acting is a way for Norton to live out different lives and enter new identities. He delights in the flexibility that acting provides him, the capability to immerse himself in different worlds for a brief time. For Norton, acting is more than just a task or a method to make money, it is a passion that allows him to experience things he may not have access to otherwise.
