The hardest thing to believe about The Fan is not that Robert De Niro is stalking somebody again but that anyone cares that much about a baseball player.
Bernie Lincicome
[on his friend and Heat (1995) co-star Robert De Niro] We know each other`s minds. We have shared some things that are personal to us, such as our roles. I know Bobby through his roles. But, then, I don`t think we actually talked about the actual work of ...
Al Pacino
[on Robert De Niro] Bobby needs someone to watch over him. He doesn`t even know enough to wear a coat in the wintertime. When we did "Bloody Mama" he didn`t even know how much money they were paying him. I found out how little it was and insisted they at ...
Shelley Winters
I think if there was a role that Robert De Niro was hungry for, he would come after it. I don`t think Jack Nicholson would. Jack has money and influence and girls, and I think he`s a little bit like Marlon Brando, except Brando went through some tough tim...
Francis Ford Coppola
[On Raging Bull (1980)]: "[Robert De Niro] wanted to make this film. Not me. I don`t understand anything about boxing. For me, it`s like a physical game of chess."
Martin Scorsese
[on Robert De Niro] And even now I still know of nobody who can surprise me on the screen the way he does -- and did then. No actor comes to mind who can provide such power and excitement.
Martin Scorsese
I actually love auditioning because I usually don`t get the part. I`ve tested with Daniel Day-Lewis, De Niro, Pacino, Tom Cruise. So I`ve gotten to that point, and I understand when I don`t get it. There are a lot of very talented people out there.
Deborah Kara Unger
[When asked what a movie of his life would be called and who would play him] It would be called `The Dustin Hoffman Story`. When we were starting out, [Robert De Niro], me and Hoffman were always sort of mixed up. People mistook us for each other.
Al Pacino
On the making of Taxi Driver (1976): "You rarely have a director like Martin Scorsese or a co-star like Robert De Niro, who rehearses and rehearses until you get the feeling that for the time you`re with him he is the character. It`s so real it`s frighten...
Jodie Foster
I admire people like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando, Spencer Tracy, who seem to be so very real-I don`t know how they do it. When I was young I admired Leslie Howard enormously, in films like The Scarlet Pimpernel, Gone With the Wind, and Pygmal...
Max Sydow
[on his friend and Heat (1995) co-star Robert De Niro] I remember seeing things that Bob had done in the past, and very recent times, and have been taken with the work so much that I even wrote [him] about it. Some of his great work -- which is plenty -- ...
Al Pacino
[1986 comment on Robert De Niro] He is a method actor. I think it would be fair to say he`s much slower than I am. As a man, Bob dislikes making a decision. And acting is a whole line of decisions. You make a decision every time you play a line -- do I sa...
Jeremy Irons
[on actors taking themselves too seriously] The truth is . . . myself, De Niro [Robert De Niro], Pacino [Al Pacino], Hoffman [Dustin Hoffman], we were arrogant, pompous asses.
James Caan

James Caan
Bad guys stand out in people`s minds. If you think about De Niro or Pacino, you`re not going to stay Stanley and Iris, you are not going to say Author! Author! Even with Brando, you are going to say The Godfather or Street Car. It is the edgier characters...
Ray Liotta
[on working with Robert De Niro in "New York, New York"] Sure, a class-A bastard. After the sneak preview in San Francisco, Bobby said to me in the car, "I don`t mind being a bastard, as long as I`m an interesting bastard."
Liza Minnelli
[1987 comment on Robert De Niro] He`s very low-key and concentrated when he`s working. The thing that gets in the way of his work is people staring at him. So what you have to do on the set when he`s working is to get people who are just going to gawk out...
Brian De Palma
It may be a mistake to say this, but I know my limitations as an actor and I know what I can and can not do. Robert De Niro can do everything. I can`t. A "Highlander" movie is basically my thing. What I`m attempting to do is develop my ability as an actor...
Christopher Lambert
On the making of Taxi Driver (1976): "There was a welfare worker on the set every day and she saw the daily rushes of all my scenes and made sure I wasn`t on set when Robert De Niro said a dirty word."
Jodie Foster
I felt this tap on my shoulder and I turned around and, you know that De Niro fellow? Well, he didn`t say a word. He didn`t say `Hello`, `Good evening` or anything or `Hi, I`m Robert`. He just looked at me and he nodded his head and he smiled. And he walk...
Russell Crowe
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don`t think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they`re diff...
Sam Rockwell
I know that you`re better off making your own products, not just waiting for someone to hand you something. If you are handed something, it`s a blessing and a curse. Look at hip hop artists, they produced everything themselves. Even people like Robert De ...
Michael Winslow
[on Robert De Niro] De Niro has only shown me kindness. He`s a real friend. He`s helped me shop for my wife`s and my kid`s Christmas presents. He`s invited me round to meet his granny and he`s come to my house for a pot-luck diner. That really knocked my ...
