Robert De Niro

“I don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.”

“Movies are hard work. The public doesn't see that. The critics don't see it. But they're a lot of work. A lot of work.”

“I'll work with a director if I think I'm going to get into a comfortable situation, and if it's someone I respect and who respects me, even if they're not so well known. Movies are hard to make, and you have to work toward a common ethic and do your best.”

“Time goes on. So whatever you're going to do, do it. Do it now. Don't wait.”

“I think Hollywood has a class system. The actors are like the inmates, but the truth is they're running the asylum.”
