“A lot of young actors look up to me, and I wouldn't trade that for any...” — James Caan Quote

“A lot of young actors look up to me, and I wouldn't trade that for any money in the world. I don't want to lose their respect and be a hypocrite.”

“My acting technique is to look up at God just before the camera rolls and say, 'Give me a break.'”

“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.”

“I think we need to look at ourselves first. We should practice what we're preaching. Otherwise, we are hypocrites.”

“Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.”

“We're all slight hypocrites who fall short of our ideals.”
