More quotes by Al Pacino
My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom - it was almost overwhelming.
Al Pacino
We start to realize that there are anodynes in life that help us through the day. I don't care if it's a walk in the park, a look out the window, a good bubble bath - whatever. Even a meal you like, or a friend you want to call. That helps us solve all this stuff in our head.
Al Pacino
I found out how temperamental I am, yes. And that sometimes that can be kind of off-putting.
Al Pacino
All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on 'Dancing with the Stars,' mainly because I would be too shy.
Al Pacino
That's where humour lives for me. In the body. The Steve Martin kind of stuff or Jim Carrey, that's what I like. I've always felt that's what I would like to do.
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
You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is.
Al Pacino
I'm so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go.

I do believe, and I will always believe, that Shakespeare on film is really something that should be tried more often because it is an opportunity to take the humanity that Shakespeare writes into characters and express it.
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
I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.
Al Pacino
Without coffee something’s missing
Al Pacino
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.
Al Pacino
At this point in my career, I don't have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.
Al Pacino
I've often said there's two kinds of actors. There's a more gregarious type and the shy type.
Al Pacino
Vanity is my favourite sin.
Al Pacino
It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart.
Al Pacino
There was a time in my life when being dishonest with women was the natural way to be. I finally said, Hey, I have to stop this silliness.
Al Pacino
The difference between the actor and the painter is that the actor would buy somebody a knish in order to have them watch him act.
Al Pacino
I like, for instance, 'Serpico.' I enjoyed playing Serpico because Frank Serpico was there. He existed. He was a real life person and I could - I could embody him. I could, you know, I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It's almost like a painter having a model to become.
