Robert De Niro Acting Quotations

One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people's lives without having to pay the price.

In acting, I always try to go back to what would actually be the real situation, the real human behavior in life.

You always learn something about movies. Directing or acting, there's always something new. It's the technological thing; there's always something to learn.

Movies are hard to make, and you have to work toward a common ethic and do your best. You don't want to work with people who don't care or who are acting out some neurotic, crazy thesis on the set.

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

If you're an actor, always be true to your character. If you are not an actor, have character and always be true to yourself.
