More quotes by Al Pacino
I don't talk politics and I don't talk philosophy or anything like that, but if you look at my work, you might get an expression of me as a person.
Al Pacino
I don’t understand the hatred and fear of gays and bisexuals and lesbians… it’s a concept I honestly cannot grasp. To me, it’s not who you love… a man, a woman, what have you… it’s the fact that you love. That is all that truly matters.
Al Pacino
I always had this thing, when I was younger especially, I didn't want to do movies that much. I found they took a lot out of you and they were exhausting for me in a lot of ways.
Al Pacino
I destroy the painting as soon as I can see what it is. When I can make out something in it, I destroy it because it's no longer coming from my unconscious.
Al Pacino
If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.
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
The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls.
Al Pacino
I'm an actor, and everything about me - the way I perceive things, the way I have seen the world - has been in relation to characters and how I would want to play something or not play it.
Al Pacino
Opinions I have about anything are in my personal life.
Al Pacino
It turned out that time doesn't heal the wound , but in its so merciful way , blunts the edges ever so slightly
Al Pacino
I'm always on a red carpet . . . the other day I thought, this ain't bad. You can meet people on it.
Al Pacino
Shakespeare is one of the reasons I've stayed an actor. Sometimes I spend full days doing Shakespeare by myself, just for the joy of reading it, saying those words... I do Shakespeare when I am feeling a certain way.
Al Pacino
Chekhov was as important to me as anybody as a writer.
Al Pacino
I never saw myself as a director. It's certainly a second language but making movies for 40 years, you pick stuff up. However, this style of making movies, this documentary style, is easier for me because I gather a lot of material and with an editor, write it on screen. You try to write based on what you shot.
Al Pacino
The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.
Al Pacino
I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
Al Pacino
All I am is what I'm going after.
Al Pacino
Women have always had equal importance onstage, and working with them must have altered my sensibilities. I've never felt sensitive to the whole issue, because being macho has never been a problem with me.
Al Pacino
Great directors can understand the staging in such a way that can make a scene come alive. Others have a certain way of pacing the scene.
Al Pacino
You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is.
