Robert Duvall
I was fortunate in the last century to be in the two biggest hits film-wise, Godfather I and Godfather II, and Lonesome Dove.
Robert Duvall
It's like kids playing house: 'You play the father, I'll play the mother.' You know, you dress up, you play, they pay, you go home. It's a game - acting's a game.
