I have so much respect for directors. It’s a tremendous amount of pressure; you have to keep steadfast and keep what you know is right. Robert De Niro Read Quote
I love to find new people. It’s not for the sake of their being new; it’s because if you find someone who perfectly fits a part, that’s such a great thing. Robert De Niro Read Quote

When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody’s face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home. Robert De Niro Read Quote
My mother worked for a woman, Maria Ley-Piscator, who with her husband founded the Dramatic Workshop, which was connected to the New School.

The director respects what they’ve hired you for and chosen you for: to do the part and respect what you’re doing. Robert De Niro Read Quote
