More quotes by Robert De Niro
You don't need words to express feelings.

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

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.

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent
Robert De Niro
I have to be able to trust you with my life. Do you understand?
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 don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.
Robert De Niro
If you don't go, you'll never know.
Robert De Niro
Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.
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
