James Caan Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von James Caan:

To get over my divorce, I got a prescription to live at the Playboy Mansion for a while.

There's a big difference between wanting to work and having to work. And I had to learn that the hard way. Now money is very important to me, because I ain't got it.

James Caan

I've been lucky. The critics never went out of their way to single me out for doing bad work.

James Caan

It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.

James Caan

I know what winning and losing is when you gamble.

James Caan

I never rode a bull - I'm not that stupid.

James Caan

What's the difference between sex and love? I have four wives and five kids. I apparently don't know the difference.

James Caan

Showing up every day isn't enough. There are a lot of guys who show up every day who shouldn't have showed up at all.

James Caan

My kid was a great baseball player. I thought I had it made. Front-row seats at Yankee Stadium. Then he turned sixteen and wanted to be a rapper.

James Caan

Some guys say beauty is only skin deep. But when you walk into a party, you don't see somebody's brain. The initial contact has to be the sniffing.

James Caan

I have nothing against these big CGI movies, but there are not enough of the other ones - the ones with stories about character that have a beginning, a middle and an end. I said that to a couple of studio heads and they said, 'That's novel.'

James Caan

I don't think silicone makes a girl good or bad.

James Caan

I am no longer willing to take parts in films and/or television shows which detract from the 50 years I have spent building my reputation.

James Caan

I really believe that you grow up a certain way in New York. There's a New York morality, a sense of loyalty. You know how to win and lose. There's a thousand kids outside, you know who to push and who not to push. There's a sixth sense you develop just because it's New York.

James Caan

You're the only one who's closing your eyes at night. There's no one else who can do it for you.

James Caan

There are a lot of guys in Hollywood who clap you on the back just a little too hard.

James Caan

My least favorite phrase in the English language is 'I don't care.'

James Caan

People wonder why first-time directors can make a brilliant picture, then suck on the second one. It's because they're a little terrified the first time. So they listen to all the experts around them.

James Caan

I didn't have parents I could take a million dollars from. We were a lower-class family.

James Caan

I'm here instead of having shoulder surgery. But I'm not sure which is more painful.

James Caan

I was very fortunate in the '70s to work with the best actors, the best directors, the best cinematographers.

James Caan

You have to be very careful when you let someone win.

James Caan

People are always backing up when I'm just going to shake their hands.

James Caan

Actors have bodyguards and entourages not because anybody wants to hurt them - who would want to hurt an actor? - but because they want to get recognized. God forbid someone doesn't recognize them.

James Caan

I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me, and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is, I'll make less mistakes than my dad, my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me, and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads.

James Caan

It's a very charming movie about the mob - a real stretch for me.

James Caan

Sure, I want to be the best actor in the world. But my life is my family, my son, my friends. I don't know how anyone can find fault with that.

James Caan

There's nothing more boring than actors talking about acting.

James Caan

I play a guy who believes he's a king. He's the most common man in the world; in fact his family, like his suits, are just make-up. It's about dysfunctional people and dysfunctional relationships.

James Caan

To get over my divorce, I got a prescription to live at the Playboy Mansion for a while.

James Caan

Anyone of my generation who tells you he hasn't 'done Brando' is lying.

I won't mention names, but in my career, the most talented people invariably are the easiest and nicest to get along with.

James Caan

My big thing is that I always get typecast.

James Caan

What I do quite honestly and seriously and not in any way being humble is not as important as what the garbage collector does. People make actors important.

James Caan

I've never been difficult to anybody or with anybody on a picture. Especially when you're in that nice status of hierarchy of actors and actresses who get to approve directors. Because once you make that choice, it's my belief that the director's boss.

James Caan

No matter what heights you achieve, even if you're Brad Pitt, the slide is coming, sure as death and taxes.

James Caan

I turned down 'Cuckoo's Nest' four times before Jack got it.
