Forget the career, do the work. If you feel what you are doing is on line and you're going someplace and you have a vision and you stay with it, eventually things will happen.

More quotes by Al Pacino
An actor basically likes to be asked to do something, no matter what position he's in. It feels more natural. Sitting and waiting is more gratifying.

The reasons you have for doing a movie will vary with the way your life is going. There was a time when a made a some movies because I felt I needed to work.

The actor becomes an emotional athlete.
Al Pacino
If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.
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
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
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.

Without coffee something’s missing
Al Pacino
Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow.
Al Pacino
Show me a bad script and I will show you a big payday.
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.
