| Robert Duvall QUOTES / QUOTATIONS |
Although it wasn't that easy to do, it was wonderful working with John Wayne.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Annette Bening was very serious, very real and very truthful. She added wonderful things to the film.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Around my own friends, I like to mess around.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Being a star is an agent's dream, not an actor's.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
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.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
God does guide the lives of individuals and does fill them with the Holy Ghost.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
High Noon is a pretty corny movie.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Hollywood is still the mecca for good or bad, but it isn't the beginning or end for filmmaking.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I always thought of myself as a later bloomer, so I like some of my work more later than earlier.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I don't have many people showing up at my door. Very few people come out. When they do, I get a little suspicious. I live way up on a hill, way, way back in the country.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I like to do things that I develop from the ground up.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I love the smell of juice boxes in the morning.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I think you've just got to tell it like it is.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I tried to mix the non-actors with the actors. I didn't want to come in and tell them what to do. I wanted them to show me what they do.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I wanted to show that crime doesn't pay. If you are saved and accept the Lord, you cannot use that as an excuse to avoid punishment.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I was always attracted to these cowboy men when I lived back in Montana as a boy.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I was hesitant to get back on a horse, but the wranglers were very helpful, and after a while, I got in the groove of it.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I wouldn't mind starting to ride some more if I had a really good horse to just work a little bit with every day.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I'll keep on acting 'til they wipe the drool. I like the business. I like to do different parts and diverse characters. I haven't lost my enthusiasm yet!
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I'm better than Olivier.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I'm fortunate in that I keep getting some pretty nice offers. Right now I'm not sure what they are, but there are some still coming in.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
I'm not really quick with lines. Some people are slower or quicker than other people. Some people have a photographic memory. Just for curiosity I would like one.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
In a year and a half, I did four movies.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
It's a cyclical thing. When they make one, everyone loves them. Different genres come around in succession. People always welcome the western. It's America's genre.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
It's Hollywood. You'll try anything.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
It's no big thing, but you make big things out of little things sometimes.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
My father's people... are from Fairfax in northern Virginia, just across the Mason-Dixon line. So it was an honour to play Lee, he was a great general.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Open Range is an imitation of films that went before rather than the true West.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Over on the Eastern Shore of Maryland at St. Michaels and Oxford? Great crab cakes.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Some religious people might ask why I would make such a movie and emphasize that this evangelical preacher has weaknesses.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
That scene was meant to be there. It was the power of the Holy Ghost.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
The beginning and the end of the tango is the walk. I practice once a week, twice a week maybe.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
The cultural contrast I saw between religions... Catholics have a lot of mediators, going through saints and Mary or whatever. Protestants in general say things to God directly.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
The greatest king of Israel, King David, the author of the Psalms, sent a man out to die in battle so that he could sleep with his wife.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
The money part is one of the most difficult things. Coppola always said I should do a tango movie. If it hadn't been for him, I don't know where we would have gotten the money.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
The shorter the film the more showings you can get and the more money it would make. But some things I didn't want to lose.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
There was nothing wrong with shouting at God.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
They have a tourniquet on the brain.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Too many people think that economics is this subject that should wait until the university level. But it can't wait that long.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
We all have a cradle-to-the-grave journey to make and, in between, what do you do? There's got to be something hereafter.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
We either accept weaknesses in good people or we have to tear pages out of the Bible.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
You get below the Mason-Dixon line and you have some of the best music, culture, the two races, the literature, and it's so rich.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
You have a little bit of feeling for everyone you play.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
You just can't take a crash course to be a tango dancer in a movie.
Quotation of Robert Duvall
|
You really have to soak up the culture of the people to get it right. If you're making a fiction film, it's entertainment, but you want it to be as real as possible.
