More quotes by James Caan

I remember at 16 years old, growing up in Queens, we were punks, but hey, when we went to the theater, we wore a shirt and tie! Similarly, I believe that to keep movie theaters in existence, they're gonna have to make 'em an event, have a couch, a table and drinks or something. Otherwise, there's no reason to get out of your bed!

Someone's always saying, It's not whether you win or lose, but if you feel that way, you're as good as dead.

You're the only one who's closing your eyes at night. There's no one else who can do it for you.

What I do quite honestly and seriously and not in any way being humble is not as important as what the garbage collector does. People make actors important.

It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.

Never stop asking yourself whether you can do things better. Keep testing every aspect of your business to the nth degree, and challenge every one of your assumptions. The tougher you are on yourself now, the tougher your business will be out there in the real world.

People say, 'Gee, you do a lot of mafia movies.' I think I've done two, out of 60.

Showing up every day isn't enough. There are a lot of guys who show up every day who shouldn't have showed up at all.

Image
There's a big difference between wanting to work and having to work. And I had to learn that the hard way. Now money is very important to me, because I ain't got it.
James Caan
Image
I lost my passion for work. No, that's a negative statement. I just had a bigger passion for something else, for my son, and growing up with him.

Image
I really believe that you grow up a certain way in New York. There's a New York morality, a sense of loyalty. You know how to win and lose. There's a thousand kids outside, you know who to push and who not to push. There's a sixth sense you develop just because it's New York.

No matter what heights you achieve, even if you're Brad Pitt, the slide is coming, sure as death and taxes.

Success is the result of clear goal, unshakable confidence, proper planning, enthusiastic ACTION and consistent persistence.

Actors have bodyguards and entourages not because anybody wants to hurt them - who would want to hurt an actor? - but because they want to get recognized. God forbid someone doesn't recognize them.

I've never been difficult to anybody or with anybody on a picture. Especially when you're in that nice status of hierarchy of actors and actresses who get to approve directors. Because once you make that choice, it's my belief that the director's boss.
