Al Pacino
My weaknesses... I wish I could come up with something. I'd probably have the same pause if you asked me what my strengths are. Maybe they're the same thing.

Al Pacino
Our life is looking forward or looking back, that's it. Where is the moment?
Al Pacino
A lot of acting is private time.
Al Pacino
My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom - it was almost overwhelming.
Al Pacino
When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I'm going to do a big scene that's dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.
Al Pacino
I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.
Al Pacino
Any project that I find encouraging that isn't attached to a studio, I can go to them, which I definitely would. You have to take an interest in what you do.
Al Pacino
I turned down a lot of films before I made my first one. I knew that it was time for me to get into movies.

It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart.
