“It may be a mistake to say this, but I know my limitations as an actor and I know what I can and can not do. Robert De Niro can do everything. I can't. A 'Highlander' movie is basically my thing. What I'm attempting to do is develop my ability as an actor and try to be the best I can be in the fantasy/action genre.” KnowsTryingMayI CanActionActorsCan DoAbilityMistakeFantasyLimitationGenreBeing The BestCan NotAttemptingDe NiroHighlander Author:Christopher Lambert

Even for Robert De Niro there's Al Pacino and for Pacino there's De Niro.” ActorsMinesMountainScrutinySustainingDe Niro Author:Eddie Redmayne
“I think there's a lot of mythos about what's required in acting.
