More quotes by 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 go to Paris, I go to London, I go to Rome, and I always say, 'There's no place like New York. It's the most exciting city in the world now. That's the way it is. That's it.'
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
In civilized societies, we spend our lifetimes trying to become what is socially acceptable. We're dark and we're light. We all have both sides to us.
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
Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome.
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.
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 don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.
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
I don't remember what made me want to be an actor. In fact, I'm always curious.
Robert De Niro
I've never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.
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
I don’t get into these long-winded heavy discussions about character - do we do this or that or what. At the end of the day, what you gotta do is just go out there and do it.
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
You don't need words to express feelings.
Robert De Niro
Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.
Robert De Niro
If you're an actor, always be true to your character. If you are not an actor, have character and always be true to yourself.
Robert De Niro
You learned the two greatest thing in life, never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.
Robert De Niro
Passion should always trump common sense.
