"I'm not a big football person at all." — Robert De Niro

I don't get into these long-winded heavy discussions about character - do we do this or that or what. At the end of the day, what you gotta do is just go out there and do it.

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.

I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will.

The director respects what they've hired you for and chosen you for: to do the part and respect what you're doing.
