More quotes by Al Pacino
[Marlon] Brando's a giant on every level. When he acts it's as if he landed from another planet. A planet where they produce great actors.
Al Pacino
All I am is what I'm going after.
Al Pacino
The thing that can get you a little upset is when people say other people are better than you. That can bug you.
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.
Al Pacino
When I was younger, there was the sex thing. That's par for the course.When you're a movie star, it went with it. It's a kind of rite of passage, socially.

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.

I didn't want the book [of memoirs] out, naturally - Larry [Grobel] knew that for 20 years, 15 at least, I didn't want anything written about me. Then, you know, things happen, finally it's OK and I trust Larry. Nothing about it is salacious in any way.
Al Pacino
My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom - it was almost overwhelming.
Al Pacino
It was a compromise. There was a sense that I could write my own memoirs, and Larry [Grobel] would help me down the line, or maybe not, maybe he was too close to me.
Al Pacino
Shakespeare's plays are more violent than 'Scarface.'
Al Pacino
All due respect, and trying to be as modest as I can be: I am a dancer.
Al Pacino
It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.
Al Pacino
I can see [ talent or curiosity for acting] in my oldest daughter [Julia Marie Pacino]. I don't know how long she'll run away from it, but it's there in her.
Al Pacino
Love goes through different stages. But it endures.
Al Pacino
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.
Al Pacino
I found out how temperamental I am, yes. And that sometimes that can be kind of off-putting.
Al Pacino
I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.
Al Pacino
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.
Al Pacino
I found that speaking live to people, young people, about what I liked and what had been happening to me was very good for me. I was quite overtaken by success and fame. I was one of those types who responded to it in a negative way. It was not easy.
Al Pacino
The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.
