Robert Duvall
It's no big thing, but you make big things out of little things sometimes.
Robert Duvall
I like the good feeling movies.
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.
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
My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.
Robert Duvall
The greatest king of Israel, King David, the author of the Psalms, sent a man out to die in battle so that he could sleep with his wife.
