I was certainly a child of the '60s, and I came out of that era, and as a young actor, I got cast as a lot of counterculture hippie types.

More quotes by Rob Reiner
I was already interested in directing when I was very young. I knew that was something I was going to be doing.
Rob Reiner
When you do improv, you're everything. You're a performer, writer, and director, because you're moving the scene in the direction you want it to go, you're making it up as you go, and you're acting it.
Rob Reiner
People always said, I can't believe you made a movie that had no script. Yeah, but here's the thing, if you've got actors who are used to that, and that's what they like to do, they're all good improvisers and they're all people that feel comfortable doing that, then you know, it's not that big of a deal. It's what you do.
Rob Reiner
Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.
Rob Reiner
For me, the only type of guilty pleasure fun that I have in terms of my career is I act once in awhile. And I don't have any responsibility.
Rob Reiner
TV's great. I think the best stuff is happening on television.
Rob Reiner
As you get older, all those dumb clichés, they're all true. You only have a certain amount of time left, and you should only spend it doing the things that you want to do. It's all true.
Rob Reiner
For me, if I had all the money in the world, and I could finance my own films, I would do whatever.
Rob Reiner
The idea of playing a part where I get to wear a completely undetectable hairpiece... you can't walk away from that.
Rob Reiner
I like writing because you can make things happen and turn out the way they never do in real life.
Rob Reiner
I was a kid who was really unhappy with being bussed. I was one of the angry people in the halls.
Rob Reiner
Usually, I have in mind what I want to do. I shoot pretty economically, so I'm not shooting tons of stuff that I could change, all that much. I'll cut something or add a little something back, but not too much. This is maybe the producer part of me, but I'm always worried about the budget, so I shoot what I know I need to shoot for the film.
Rob Reiner
I decided to not just be about protesting or speaking out against certain things, but actually trying to get things done. That has been tremendously fulfilling for me.
Rob Reiner
I think there's great stuff on television. I'm hooked on all these shows. I love watching these shows.
Rob Reiner
You never know if anything is going to stand the test of time or going to be successful.
Rob Reiner
Harry [Shearer] and I had an idea to do a movie about rock 'n' roll from the roadies' perspective, from backstage. Then Meat Loaf came out with a movie called Roadie and we thought, Oh, we can't do that now. So we kind of discarded the idea.
Rob Reiner
With the films I've done, I've written on them, I've acted in some of them. And even ones I haven't acted in, I've acted them out just to be sure another actor can do them.
Rob Reiner
If you've ever made up something on the spot and made somebody laugh, you can credit Jonathan Winters with inspiration.
Rob Reiner
If you have tapped into something that is real for you, chances are you are going to tap into something that is real for someone else.
Rob Reiner
I'm always running around trying to raise money to make the films. Fortunately, I've been able to do that, but if I can't, at this point, it's not like I wanted to spend a lot of time putting together, you know, you spend a year of your life on something, you go, What the hell am I doing that for?
