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
I put in a call to Clark Gable to tell him about some deer I`d heard were running loose up in the Canadian Rockies. I was told he was on location ... in Hong Kong. I called Robert Taylor. He was on location, too, in Italy, unless he had finished there and...
Gary Cooper
[on Robert Mitchum] I think Bob is one of the very great actors and that his resources as an actor have never been fully tapped. He could be a Shakespearean actor. In fact, I think that he could play King Lear.
John Huston
I`m now starting Rambo (2008) and I`m looking for a young actor to star opposite me. I`ve been looking for the next Robert Mitchum or Steve McQueen, but the fact is they just don`t exist. Tough guys today are getting their hair done at Hollywood hairdress...
Sylvester Stallone
One of the proud moments for us was Robert Wise, who directed Sound of Music and West Side Story, he is the great-great grandfather of musical cinema and he said, I`ve seen Moulin Rouge and the musical has been re-invented." I bring this up because you ge...
Baz Luhrmann
[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
Commenting in 1939 on the fact that her fiancé, Robert Taylor, at 28, was four years younger than she, which raised eyebrows then, Stanwyck said: "The boy`s got a lot to learn and I`ve got a lot to teach."
Barbara Stanwyck
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
We showcased a utterly immoral, grotesquely greedy, decadent society that we felt was imminent.- On making Shampoo (1975) with Warren Beatty and Robert Towne
Julie Christie
[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
[Explaining his disillusionment with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where he made his first films} Metro was really a star-builder, no doubt about that. You were wrapped in cotton wool. ... I was encouraged to emulate Robert Taylor, who came to the studio every day...
Peter Lawford
[1977 comment on Robert Aldrich] A very good director. Beyond that, he has one fault: he is inflexible. He`s horrified if you give him ideas; he only appreciates his own. He wants to use his own brain for everything. That`s his greatest fault. If he wasn`...
Charles Bronson
I can play the bad guy, the character with the edge, but I would like him to get the girl without having to put a gun to her head, you know? Look at the careers of Robert Mitchum, Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney started out playing the adversary, too. I ...
Robert Davi
[speaking in 1969] When I was under contract to MGM, with people like poor Robert Taylor and so many others, the cinema`s job was solely entertainment. It filled a public need then. Now the cinema serves so many other purposes; it functions as psychiatris...
Deborah Kerr
Spencer Tracy was the first actor I`ve seen who could just look down into the dirt and command a scene. He played a set-up with Robert Ryan that way. He`s looking down at the road and then he looks at Ryan at just the precise, right minute. I tell you, Ro...
Ernest Borgnine
That Redford [Robert Redford] fellow is good. Brando [Marlon Brando]. Ah, Patton (1970) - George C. Scott. But the best of the bunch is Garner - James Garner. He can play anything. Comedy westerns, drama - you name it. Yeah, I have to say Garner is the be...
John Wayne
[Robert Redford on Paul Newman] He tells the worst jokes. And that wouldn`t be so bad if he didn`t keep repeating them over and over. - 2005.
Paul Newman
[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
In response to radio interviewer who asked if he would co-star with Robert Redford in sequel to Indecent Proposal (1993) "Like a rocket!...I`d shack up with anyone for a million dollars. I`d shack up with a gorilla for a million, plus 10 percent."
Paul Newman
[talking about his character in Jackie Brown]: "This is the great noir hero.If Humphrey Bogart or Robert Mitchum were around today, they`d be playing that role."
Robert Forster
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
(To Robert Taylor after both had appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947) I got a much bigger hand than you did.
Gary Cooper
[on The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)] If you have any ideas for a script, please, call Universal! We`ve gone so far from the book. [Robert Ludlum] wrote it as a trilogy and we`ve really kind of ignored that plot because it`s very Cold War. And so, in the updat...
