More quotes by Al Pacino
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying - even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.

Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later and then you listen to the movie. And it sort of plays in your mind like a film, like a first rough cut of a movie.
Al Pacino
I'm always on a red carpet . . . the other day I thought, this ain't bad. You can meet people on it.

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
Whether he's doing great acting or not, you're seeing somebody who is in the tradition of a great actor. What he does with it, that's something else, but he's got it all. The talent, the instrument is there, that's why he has endured.

My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.
Al Pacino
I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.
Al Pacino
When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I'm going to do a big scene that's dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.
Al Pacino
I like women who can cook. That's first. Love is very important, but you've got to have a friend first - you want to finally come to a point where you say that the women you're with is also your friend.
Al Pacino
The literal, basic thing of the stage is really like a magnet. It brings me back to earth.
Al Pacino
It wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.
Al Pacino
There is no happiness. There is only concentration.

Love is overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate
