Robert Duvall's quotes

[on Hollywood political activists] They should keep their mouths shut.
Being a star is an agent's dream, not an actor's.
One guy asked me, "How can you be an actor and be a Republican?". I can vote either way. But how can you boil it down to political affiliation? All the atrocities against blacks in the South were committed by Democratic sheriffs.
Everybody likes to win. One of the biggest disappointments was when I didn't get an Emmy for Lonesome Dove. It's political. It can be a popularity contest.
[1983 comment on Francis Ford Coppola] Coppola's talented. I'm pissed that he cut a scene that would have given the audience an insight into my character in Apocalypse Now (1979), but he's talented.
[on Lonesome Dove (1989)] I think I nailed a very specific individual guy who represents something important in our history of the western movement. After that, I felt I could retire, that'd I'd done something.
I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.
[on Governor Sarah Palin] About a year ago, I first saw this wonderful woman speak. I didn't know who it was. And I said who is this woman? And a year later, I said to myself about three or four weeks ago, why isn't she up for the vice presidency?
Well, our hero, coming up, was Brando. He kinda squandered it. But he was so revolutionary in so many ways.
Because my parents were so religious, I attended church regularly. I've always been a believer.
When I knew nothing, I thought I could do anything.
A friend is someone who many years ago offered you his last $300 when you broke your pelvis. A friend is Gene Hackman.
Making the first Godfather was more laughs than making Godfather II. That's because Jimmy Caan was in the first Godfather.
A young actor once asked me, What do you do between jobs? I said, Hobbies, hobbies, and more hobbies. It keeps you off dope.
Sometimes, when you look back on it, the $10-million-and-under movies are some of your favorites.
I feel like our country is just a big giant kid with tremendous talent - like an athlete. A big giant kid that's made mistakes, but there's a lot of potential.
You never know how reality is going to coincide with your dreams. You're optimistic, and you go from there.
Virginia is the last station before heaven.
Getting together with friends and holding court over a meal is one of the great things in life.
I'm not perceived as a traditional leading man, but I never aimed at that sort of thing either. I never straightened my front teeth, or whatever. I wan't cut out for that. Even if I did a 'big' movie, I'd still want to make it a real character.
Method acting is a way of working internally as a substitute if something isn't happening for you; if you don't need it, it's like walking on a good leg instead of using a crutch or cane.
[evaluating his career, 2018] I've done a lot of crap, but I've done a lot of good things too. You always wish there was one more. It's like the great jumping-horse riders - always looking for a horse, 'the' horse.
