The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Harvey Keitel
- Fear is a marker I need to rise above, otherwise I would drown in my fear of myself.
- I don’t want people to think that awards amount to the value of an actor. Real success means involvement – to engage oneself totally in something. Unless you become involved, you will stay uninvolved. If money is your god, you will accumulate money, but little else. If you seek out the experience of something… you have a good chance to have a full life.
- Violence has its own texture, and it needs to be respected, prayed to, idolized, swallowed, digested.
- I’m learning to enjoy living because I’m learning to cope with sadness and loneliness. I’m learning not to run away from those things into other places… I don’t want to pretend to know why, but living is difficult, and living is beautiful; without difficulty there would be no beauty.
- My characters aren’t nasty; they’re troubled. I don’t see these these guys as bad guys at all. There’s no difficulty for me in keeping them human.
- Acting is religious… great acting can be worshiped because it descends into the subconscious, into the soul and somewhere in there must be God.
- Fame is a funny thing. The upside is easy access to good restaurants. The downside is the bill! “Movie star” is a nice term, because it’s poetic and fairytaleish, but it has no truth about it.
- Success isn’t about awards. Success is continuity, a process of discovery. I’ve been very lucky to be a part of movies that were widely appreciated, but there are lesser known movies I’m just as proud of.
- If I could tell my younger self anything, it would be to broaden my field of study to include more art outside of acting. Writing, for example. In my mind I’m always writing, but I don’t really.
- A lot of people ask me why I’m always playing violent characters. I feel I’ve never played a violent character; I’ve played characters that were in deep conflict, despair and chaos.
