More quotes by Robert Duvall
When you shift the gear and that little needle on the tach goes into the red and reads 9,000 rpm, that's bad.
Robert Duvall
I've always remembered something Sanford Meisner, my acting teacher, told us. When you create a character, it's like making a chair, except instead of making someting out of wood, you make it out of yourself. That's the actor's craft - using yourself to create a character.
Robert Duvall
God does guide the lives of individuals and does fill them with the Holy Ghost.
Robert Duvall
I like the smell of toast. Coffee is okay, but I don't drink much coffee. But toast is a nice smell. You smell some toast coming from your kitchen in the morning, you know that you're involved in a domestic situation and the operation that's going on is pleasant.
Robert Duvall
There's no smoking section in heaven.
Robert Duvall
I'm a man without a corporation.

I love going to black churches, and I love some of these black preachers. The best preacher I ever saw in my life was a 93-year-old in a black church in Hamilton, Virginia. What a preacher!

Sometimes you don't prepare much. I mean, when I did 'Lonesome Dove' way back I rode horses day and night for like three or four months, and that got me ready for that.
Robert Duvall
If you don't daydream and kind of plan things out in your imagination, you never get there. So you have to start someplace.
Robert Duvall
Way, way, way back I played a little bit, but I am definitely not a golfer. You know, it just takes too much time anyway during the course of the day.
Robert Duvall
Too many people think that economics is this subject that should wait until the university level. But it can't wait that long.
Robert Duvall
I always figure from the cradle to the grave, we all have our individual journeys, and maybe my journey was a positive one and I accomplished certain things without stepping on too many toes.
Robert Duvall
I would like to ask each of you: Would you be in favor of some kind of education on birth control and if so, how would you use that as a possible solution to the ever present question of abortion.
Robert Duvall
Look, Hollywood's a mecca, but it's not the final answer. You pick up a camera anyplace in the world, you can make a movie.
Robert Duvall
You know, Hollywood sometimes tends to patronize the interior of the United States. As Horton Foote used to say, the great Texas playwright, that a lot of people from New York don't know what goes on beyond the South Jersey Shore.
Robert Duvall
If you piss your pants, you can only stay warm for so long.
Robert Duvall
I always thought of myself as a later bloomer, so I like some of my work more later than earlier.
Robert Duvall
I'll keep on acting 'til they wipe the drool. I like the business. I like to do different parts and diverse characters. I haven't lost my enthusiasm yet!
Robert Duvall
What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.
Robert Duvall
I love working in Texas anywhere.
