More quotes by Al Pacino
I’ve always been in the theater. I’ve always gone to it. That’s been my way to cope. Early on in my career, I remember running - fleeing - to the theater as a way of coping with all the meshugaas that was going on for me.
Al Pacino
They say we die twice - once when the last breath leaves our body and once when the last person we know says our name.
Al Pacino
I went back to the stage because it was my way of dealing with the success I had, my way of coping. It was a way of escaping the responsibilty of what was happening.
Al Pacino
Man is a little bit better than his reputation, and a little bit worse
Al Pacino
It used to worry me what people said about me. I'm learning not to worry as much. Sometimes you feel critics are wrong all the time, but I don 't take objection to it, because that's the way it goes. They can be wrong, they can be right. They can be cruel, they can be kind.
Al Pacino
I come from the South Bronx - a true descendant of the melting pot. I grew up in a really mixed neighborhood it was a very integrated life.
Al Pacino
I have a life and do a lot of things, and so far my work has been my life. If I was a painter no one would question me about my age. I'm an artist, I hate saying that.
Al Pacino
Jamie Foxx does a good rendition of me. It's a real gift, mimicry of that kind, the tonal thing. It's sort of like having a talent for playing an instrument.
Al Pacino
The interesting thing about this is I don't know what my vision [ in Salome the play and Salomaybe] is yet about. I'm sensing something and I'm going along with it. It reminds me of a painting, the way Jackson Pollack painted - Jackson Pollack, the great, great artist.
Al Pacino
If something is working, don't fix it. Keep going. Go with the glow.
Al Pacino
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.
Al Pacino
The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.
Al Pacino
I probably write a poem every 50 years.
Al Pacino
Be careful how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life in one moment.
Al Pacino
My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.
Al Pacino
Freedom, baby, is never having to say youre sorry.
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
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.
Al Pacino
I destroy the painting as soon as I can see what it is. When I can make out something in it, I destroy it because it's no longer coming from my unconscious.
Al Pacino
My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom - it was almost overwhelming.
