More quotes by Robert De Niro
You don't need words to express feelings.
Robert De Niro
One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people's lives without having to pay the price.
Robert De Niro
As an actor who's starting out, you can't say, Hey, I'm too good for this. You gotta do it, because people see you, your name gets around, and it has a cumulative effect.
Robert De Niro
Ok let me explain, if you were bitten by a mad infected dog, who will you blame? the dog or its owner? Definitely the owner, so, all the blame is on the USA Government’s shoulders for adopting and supporting a state like Israel
Robert De Niro
Write down everything you want to do with your life and then spend the next 25 years doing them.
Robert De Niro
One regret I have: I didn't get as much of the family history as I could have for the kids.
Robert De Niro
I didn't have a problem with rejection, because when you go into an audition, you're rejected already. There are hundreds of other actors. You're behind the eight ball when you go in there.
Robert De Niro
I don't remember what made me want to be an actor. In fact, I'm always curious.
Robert De Niro
I think it's important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else.
Robert De Niro
Sometimes if you have financial restraints, it's a benefit. It forces you to come up with a more creative way.
Robert De Niro
I always enjoy coming to Israel. Israelis are warm, they're energetic people. Forthright. Very smart. I always like smart people. They're nice people, you know. Aggressive, and I respect that aggressiveness because you need it in their situation.
Robert De Niro
It's a very stressful thing, directing a movie. You have the budget, you have the schedule, you are in certain confines, and you have everybody giving you advice about what to do.
Robert De Niro
Loneliness has been following me my whole life.
Robert De Niro
Passion should always trump common sense.
Robert De Niro
I will not hesitate. Not for a second.
Robert De Niro
My mother worked for a woman, Maria Ley-Piscator, who with her husband founded the Dramatic Workshop, which was connected to the New School. My mother did proofreading and typing and stuff or her, and as part of her payment, I was able to take acting classes there on Saturdays when I was 10.
Robert De Niro
I love to find new people. It's not for the sake of their being new it's because if you find someone who perfectly fits a part, that's such a great thing.
Robert De Niro
I always tell actors when they go in for an audition: Don't be afraid to do what your instincts tell you. You may not get the part, but people will take notice.
Robert De Niro
I think Hollywood has a class system. The actors are like the inmates, but the truth is they're running the asylum.
Robert De Niro
You never know what you do that could be totally out of left field, which actually might work and give something fresh to the whole scene, to the character, whatever. If you have that with a director who then knows how to shape it, either in the direction, in the moment, or in the editing, then that's good.
