I wouldn't be interested in [nowadays] television simply because I think it goes too fast. Except if something was maybe a play on television or some great television script.

I'm always on a red carpet . . . the other day I thought, this ain't bad. You can meet people on it.
Al Pacino
Image
You don't get to know anybody in a movie until after it's over. You work less together in a film than you do onstage.
Al Pacino
Image
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.

It surprised me, the feeling I got when I won the Oscar for 'Scent of a Woman.' It was a new feeling. I'd never felt it. I don't see my Oscar much now. But when I first got it, there was a feeling for weeks afterward that I guess is akin to winning a gold medal in the Olympics.

My best advice to any young person is, if you want kids, be careful who you have them with. That's my mantra.

It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.

I once asked my oldest daughter [Julia Marie] if she thought about changing her name in school and she said, No, I'm a Pacino. That's my name. I just wondered how it would feel, how people would treat her, but she's adjusted so marvelously.

[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.

Sometimes the only way you can get an audience is at an audition.

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.
Al Pacino
Image
Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow.

Image
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.

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.

Image
I've never cared for guns. In fact, when I did 'Scent of a Woman' I had to learn how to assemble one.

Image
Responsibilities are relative. My responsibility is to a character in a script, to a part I'm playing.
Al Pacino
Image
That's the way to live - around people who care. It may be a tough ride, but something is going to come out of it.

[Ocean's Thirteen] is a great group, and it was an opportunity to work with Steven Soderbergh. But mainly? It was shot in L.A. and I want to be next to my kids. So I've been doing everything that has to do with being next to them, close to them.

My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didn't know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother.
