""I imagined this man, Abraham Lincoln, from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed at night for 10 years (and) suddenly he's walking, he's talking, he's on the screen, he's back in my life again. It's an extraordinary experience to see him become Abraham Lincoln."" Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin is very impressed with Daniel Day-Lewis' portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, which is based on her book Team of Rivals.
