Esquire has a pretty dope feature on Robert DeNiro for their January 2010 issue where he shares some interesting quotes. Check out a few below:
I’d like to look at all of my movies once just to do it — just to see what it makes me think, to see what the pattern was. But with all the movies I’ve been in, that would mean watching two or three a day for a month. I don’t know where I’d get the time.
If I remember correctly, there were not many sequels at the time. The Godfather was one of the first. So we didn’t think about sequels the way we do now. I remember seeing the entire street between Avenue A and Avenue B converted into the early twentieth century. The storefronts, the insides of the stores. The size of it was incredible. You knew what you were doing was ambitious.
Everybody can criticize. But at the end of the day, you know Obama’s intentions are in the right place.
I always tell actors when they go in for an audition: Don’t be afraid to do what your instincts tell you. You may not get the part, but people will take notice.
Marlon and I never talked about our performances in The Godfather. What was he going to say? We knew each other. I spent time on his island with him. But you don’t talk about acting. You talk about anything but acting. I guess the admiration is unspoken.
One of our favorite actors!
