More quotes by Robert De Niro
Even I like to go to certain restaurants and places where you have to wear a jacket, a suit and a tie, and I like that sort of old world style. I am sure it will come back in many ways, if it hasn't already. It's kind of nice and it breaks it up.
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 De Niro wants to spend the twilight of his career as the McDonald's of master thespians, we can't stop him.
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
You'll have time to rest when you're dead.
Robert De Niro
Time goes on. So whatever you're going to do, do it. Do it now. Don't wait.

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
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
Loneliness has been following me my whole life.
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 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
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
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 think it's important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else.
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
Write down everything you want to do with your life and then spend the next 25 years doing them.
Robert De Niro
As a kid I didn't root for the bad guys.
Robert De Niro
If it's the right chair, it doesn't take too long to get comfortable in it.
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
