Later in his interview with The Guardian, De Niro was asked about his future plans and what lies ahead in the coming years. While he has a few projects in progress, his primary goal now is to ‘stay alive.’ He recognizes that time is ticking, but he believes he still has much to offer.
“Of course I think about it, at my age,” he admitted, emphasizing his awareness of his age, which has given him a deeper appreciation for the value of time. He looks forward to making the most of every summer, every season, and cherishing moments with his family.
Uncertainty about the future has focused De Niro on what truly matters in his life. He stressed, “Everything I do, time-wise, is important. Whatever I’m thinking about doing in two years, I’d better think about doing it now.” It’s a simple life lesson that resonates with us all.
