Robert De Niro said this quote

The mind of a writer can be a truly terrifying thing. Isolated, neurotic, caffeine-addled, crippled by procrastination, consumed by feelings of panic, self-loathing, and soul-crushing inadequacy. And that’s on a good day.

~ Robert De Niro

Better to be king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime.

~ Robert De Niro

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.

~ Robert De Niro

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
