More quotes by 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
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
Cows is one thing. But one man telling another man where he can go in this country is something else.

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
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
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
Everybody likes to win.
Robert Duvall
You have a little bit of feeling for everyone you play.
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 right or wrong just truthful or untruthful.
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!
