From Entertainment Weekly's The 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years:

#85 Daniel Plainview - From the opening of 2007's There Will Be Blood, Daniel Plainview seems as obsessive as the actor who plays him. Daniel Day-Lewis labored tirelessly over the ruthless man's vocal cadences. When oil baron Plainview gripes, "There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking," he appears to drink up human weakness as if it were, well, a milk shake.
