I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.
There are people who do De Niro and Walken impersonations.
Like De Niro. He's one of the best character actors we have ever had.
I'm a De Niro fan. I went eleven years without seeing a movie; the last one before that, February 1980, was De Niro and Scorsese in 'Raging Bull,' and when I went back, it was 'Cape Fear,' with De Niro and Scorsese. I picked up right where I left off...
Take characters that Nicholson or De Niro play: they're not always tough.
Nobody is more truthful when he's acting than De Niro.
I don't think more concentration is required for Robert De Niro to do what he does as for Jim Carrey to do what he does.
As an actor there's a lot of scrutiny and, even when you've had success, it becomes about sustaining that success. A friend of mine described it as a peakless mountain. Even for De Niro there's Pacino and for Pacino there's De Niro.
I would like to work with Jean Reno, and I think it would be amazing to work with Jim Carrey. I would quite like to work with Robert De Niro and probably Christopher Walken.
I was thrilled to work opposite Carl Reiner and Robert De Niro. Mr. Reiner was very chatty and delightful, but I learned that if you want Robert De Niro to like you, don't speak at all, and he'll be friendly to you.
I will either be famous or infamous.
You know the way there are two kinds of actors - the De Niro kind who's always De Niro, and then somebody like Daniel Day-Lewis, who transforms himself eerily? Well, I aim to be the Daniel Day-Lewis kind of writer. I don't have a house style.
I still forgive him, because by doing what he did, he made it famous.
If I could get the respect of 14-year-olds, I'm happy. They're the toughest audience.
I grew up in New Jersey and my father was a golf pro, so I was groomed for sports, but I wasn't very good, so my interests lay elsewhere.
Well I'd really love to work with Robert De Niro, because he's still the most talented actor out there.
Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
It's interesting to help someone find their vocabulary. There would not have been a De Niro without a Scorsese.
I surround myself with people I admire and respect. I have never tried to make anything happen. I don't know how long 'Urinetown' will run on Broadway, and I find myself strangely unconcerned about it.
I grew up watching Marlon Brando, Christopher Walken, Robert de Niro, and Al Pacino and even Robert Duvall and was impressed by their caliber of work.
Of course, De Niro has had a long history of memorable performances. Everyone knows 'Taxi Driver' and 'Raging Bull,' but 'Awakenings' really did something for me.
