More quotes by Robert De Niro
The bottom line is if the movie does well, everybody is happy and they forget about what they went through. And if it doesn't, it's 'I told you.' There's one director who I won't mention, who said, 'it's all blood under the bridge.'
Robert De Niro
I have to be able to trust you with my life. Do you understand?
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
Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.
Robert De Niro
You don't need words to express feelings.
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 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
If you don't go, you'll never know.
Robert De Niro
As I get older, I think that things have been pre-determined for me, whether I liked it or wanted it, wished for it, whatever, way before in some way. And with others, you do have a choice that you can change. And that choice that you make is still part of this grand scheme.
Robert De Niro
Everybody's in New York and, hopefully, my younger kids will go to college in New York and find something they want to do so they'll stay in the city
Robert De Niro
I spent lunchtime in a grave during the filming of 'Bloody Mama.' When you're younger, you feel that's what you need to do to help you stay in character. When you get older, you become more confident and less intense about it - and you can achieve the same effect.
Robert De Niro
When you love someone you gotta trust them, there's no other way. You gotta give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point?
Robert De Niro
The one thing I always talk about in terms of restaurants is consistency. I think that's what we love about the vodka, is that it's consistent. It's consistent in its pureness and that's how I tie it to restaurants. When I think of a good restaurant, it's where the food has been consistent there's always a consistency.
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
There is only one way to gain access to the truth and that is to not expect anything.
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
'What's the difference between sex and love?' Hmm. That's a good question. Hey, you interviewed Al Pacino. How'd he answer that?'
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
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
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
