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.

More quotes by Robert Duvall
Around my own friends, I like to mess around.
Robert Duvall
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!
Robert Duvall
Sometimes directors will hire you and say, 'Oh, we love your work.' And then they start to tell you how to do it. I say, 'Hey, man, back off. You hired me to do it. Let me do it.'
Robert Duvall
There's no smoking section in heaven.
Robert Duvall
I think there are more good young actors now than ever. It's a medium that everyone wants to be connected with - it is such a hip medium going into the 21st century.
Robert Duvall
It's no big thing, but you make big things out of little things sometimes.
Robert Duvall
As long as they keep offering me some good parts and so forth - there are some parts out there that fit me pretty well - I'll keep going for a while.
Robert Duvall
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
Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.
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
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'm a man without a corporation.
Robert Duvall
We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities.
Robert Duvall
I've always liked country music. It's a certain aspect of America that goes back to the British Isles and the influence is very native to America.
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
You have a little bit of feeling for everyone you play.
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
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
It's a cyclical thing. When they make one, everyone loves them. Different genres come around in succession. People always welcome the western. It's America's genre.
Robert Duvall
Not every successful man is a good father. But every good father is a successful man.
