I want to be a great actor someday, and I've decided there's no use philosophizing the only way is to work at my craft.
Al Pacino
Image
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
Image
I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.

It turned out that time doesn't heal the wound , but in its so merciful way , blunts the edges ever so slightly

Image
A kiss is a lusty dollop of dessert to be served with desire and savored with passion.
Al Pacino
Image
Women have always had equal importance onstage, and working with them must have altered my sensibilities. I've never felt sensitive to the whole issue, because being macho has never been a problem with me.

Image
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.

Image
Be careful how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life in one moment.

Image
Actors are always outsiders. It's necessary to be able to interpret - and that gets distorted when you become famous.
Al Pacino
Image

Al Pacino
Image

Image
I was watching Revolution, and the things I did in that picture, holy smokes! I can't believe I did that, it's like another person. It's the thought of it, it's just appalling to me.
Al Pacino
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn't think I had it in me ever, and I wasn't terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties. That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.

Image
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.

Image
I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.

Image
I've had very deep relationships that lasted for long periods of time with people - you could almost call them marriages, even though I didn't marry. But it was costly.
