Music Appreciation: Robert De Niro

When Robert De Niro famously used the line "You talking to me?" in the 1976 movie 'Taxi Driver,' he was simply reiterating an inquiry from the Boss: DeNiro heard Bruce Springsteen ask that question in concert and realized it'd be the perfect line for his character. Later, he confessed his inspiration to Clarence Clemens while the E Street Band member was teaching De Niro saxophone for a role in 1977's 'New York, New York.'

I loved De Niro in "The Scent Of A Woman" with Burt Ward. Hoorah! I also liked him in "A Few Good Men," "You can't handle the truth!"

All great lines. Great actor. Scarface is also a classic.

I heard that line in a 1960 Twilight Zone episode, man looking at his reflection.

Is anyone taking to anyone? Nope. Just talking to themselves. "Conversation" in th United States hasn't existed for years.

Robert Deniro is one of the best actors to ever perform in the USA.
Taxi Driver was just a classic.Very disturbing and powerful.
This famous line was incredibly done.
Ill bet my $$5,000 Cadillac ...ahem...that "XX" has not seen the movie.
