You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.

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
It used to worry me what people said about me. I'm learning not to worry as much. Sometimes you feel critics are wrong all the time, but I don 't take objection to it, because that's the way it goes. They can be wrong, they can be right. They can be cruel, they can be kind.
Al Pacino
I believe in one day at a time you've got TODAY, that's what you' ve got.
Al Pacino
Certainly the movies were always in the air for me. I come from the era when actors thought it was a big deal to be in the movies.

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

Al Pacino
All due respect, and trying to be as modest as I can be: I am a dancer.
