More quotes by Robert De Niro
You don't always have to have the answer to everything.
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
If it's the right chair, it doesn't take too long to get comfortable in it.
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
Passion should always trump common sense.
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
I don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.
Robert De Niro
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent
Robert De Niro
You don't need words to express feelings.
Robert De Niro
Things rarely turn out the way we want them to.
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
As a kid I didn't root for the bad guys.
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
I have to be able to trust you with my life. Do you understand?
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
In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing and to keep them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose, and in the end, we get it all.
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
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
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
Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome.
