More quotes by Al Pacino
You don't get to know anybody in a movie until after it's over. You work less together in a film than you do onstage.
Al Pacino
I want to be a great actor someday, and I've decided there's no use philosophizing the only way is to work at my craft.
Al Pacino
I probably write a poem every 50 years.
Al Pacino
I used to say I wanted to genuflect to a woman, put her up on a pedestal higher and higher, way up beyond my grasp...Then I'd find another one.
Al Pacino
What's this thing that gets between us and Shakespeare?
Al Pacino
I love work because it keeps sex in perspective. Otherwise, it can become a preoccupation.
Al Pacino
All I am is what I'm going after.
Al Pacino
I personally think if you're given four months instead of four weeks on a play, with the people who want to work that way, the play will invariably be different and stronger, and much more fulfilling and richer on all counts. There's no doubt in my mind about it.
Al Pacino
I turned down a lot of films before I made my first one. I knew that it was time for me to get into movies.
Al Pacino
Everything changes with age. The parts change with age, your feelings about them change, roles that I would've wanted to play 10 years ago, I don't want to play now.
Al Pacino
It's never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway, because you - you know, you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.
Al Pacino
I don't like a lot of things like [Iraq], I never did. Being in a position of celebrity and having your words carry such unnatural weight...I've always been a bit squeamish when it came to that kind of thing.
Al Pacino
Sometimes what we imagine and the world aren't different things. Sometimes they are the same exact thing.
Al Pacino
Drinking and smoking grass were a part of my life as far back as I can remember.
Al Pacino
Learning (Shakespeare's plays) ...in school was a bit of a bore.
Al Pacino
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.
Al Pacino
The interesting thing about this is I don't know what my vision [ in Salome the play and Salomaybe] is yet about. I'm sensing something and I'm going along with it. It reminds me of a painting, the way Jackson Pollack painted - Jackson Pollack, the great, great artist.
Al Pacino
I've never cared for guns. In fact, when I did 'Scent of a Woman' I had to learn how to assemble one.
Al Pacino
After looking at Salomaybe, I don't know who the hell the real me is. I think it's closest now to the real me because for one thing, I'm used to this.
Al Pacino
Either we heal now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
