"I am not where I want to be at. And I hope I will never go to the De Niro stage where I've gotten there and I am comfortable. Because that's the death of an actor."

conpare this to an interview De Niro did in 1989

PLAYBOY: When you were growing up, what movies and which actors caught your attention?
ROBERT DE NIRO: A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, East of Eden, the Kazan films, A Place in the Sun, Splendor in the Grass—the ending was so good. Dean was terrific. Brando, Montgomery Clift, Geraldine Page, Kim Stanley, Spencer Tracy—he didn't vary a lot, but he had a great sense of truth. And Walter Huston—he was great in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

PLAYBOY: What about Bogart in that film?
ROBERT DE NIRO: That's another kind of thing. Walter Huston was the one who was spectacular. Bogart was something else. [Turns off tape. He is not crazy about Bogart.]

PLAYBOY: Why go off the record about an actor who died more than 30 years ago?
ROBERT DE NIRO: I don't like saying anything bad about actors.
