When I started acting, I was asked said, 'What's your dream?' 'What would you like to achieve?' I would say, 'Oh, I'd like to sit opposite DeNiro and hold my own.' But, you never think it's gonna happen.

DeNiro did a good job playing a catcher in 'Bang the Drum Slowly,' but he's great in everything he does.

When you work with a DeNiro or Hoffman, they love what they do so much that there's never any competitive vibe. It's more about how do we do this thing together.

It was an interesting way to come across in my first big role. To work with Robert DeNiro was very exciting.

Robert DeNiro, who may be the greatest living actor, usually acts in a way which is very stone-faced, like Steve McQueen.

When I came up, guys like Nicholson and DeNiro were held in highest regard.

You can't follow another actor's performance. You can't be Robert DeNiro, because you're not Robert DeNiro, and, you know, he is.

Hello Kitty will never speak.

I was pretty nervous when I met Robert DeNiro. I kind of felt like a kid in a candy store for the first time. I couldn't wipe the grin off of my face. But Bobby DeNiro was really, really sweet and made me feel very comfortable. He's very low-key and just a superstar professional, and totally someone to be admired.

I do personal appearances, and I meet my fans, and I am genuinely honored that they come out to say 'Hello' and just to see me.
