Robert De Niro Quotations | Page 2

I can get around pretty easily. People don't expect to see me walking around.

I don't get into these long-winded heavy discussions about character - do we do this or that or what. At the end of the day, what you gotta do is just go out there and do it.

Sometimes if you have financial restraints, it's a benefit. It forces you to come up with a more creative way.

You draw on whatever’s relevant to the part you’re playing. It makes it more personal.

I guess the only thing to do now is meet his parents. I'm sure they're decent people. I mean they gotta be if they named their son Gaylord Focker.

Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt.

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent

One regret I have: I didn't get as much of the family history as I could have for the kids.

I've never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.

If De Niro wants to spend the twilight of his career as the McDonald's of master thespians, we can't stop him.
