Robert Duvall Quotes:
  • "I love New York but I actually think Buenos Aires is the most exciting city in the world. At 3 o'clock in the morning the streets are packed as people flood the coffee shops. There's tango everywhere and the men dance with the men."
  • "I practice the tango every single day. I'm working on a tango movie right now called Assassination Tango. It's about social dancing clubs. Francis Ford Coppola is producing it and I'm directing... I used to go to social dancing clubs and the first time I did the tango, he was in the audience so we've come a full circle."
