More quotes by Al Pacino
Chekhov was as important to me as anybody as a writer.
Al Pacino
Responsibilities are relative. My responsibility is to a character in a script, to a part I'm playing.
Al Pacino
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
If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.
Al Pacino
Either I act or I die.
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.
Al Pacino
sometimes it's better to be with the devil u know than the angel u didn't know

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.
Al Pacino
You take a guy like George Clooney who goes out there to Darfur, and gets things done! That's magical. He's done a great thing.
Al Pacino
One of the things that made me want to be an actor more than ever was seeing a Chekhov play, The Sea Gull, when was 14 in the Bronx.
Al Pacino
Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don't believe me when I tell them. That's how I saw myself, in comedy.
Al Pacino
A lot of acting is private time.
Al Pacino
I believe in one day at a time you've got TODAY, that's what you' ve got.
Al Pacino
There are people whose sense of reality is very strong, who have a sense of honesty. Lee Strasberg is like that, my grandfather was like that. These are the kinds of men I've had close relationships with.
Al Pacino
Sometimes the only way you can get an audience is at an audition.
Al Pacino
Acting is hard work. At times, it's very energizing and enervating. It's childish. It's also responsible. It's illuminating, enriching, joyful, drab. It's bizarre, diabolical. It's exciting.
Al Pacino
Drinking and smoking grass were a part of my life as far back as I can remember.
Al Pacino
I didn't want the book [of memoirs] out, naturally - Larry [Grobel] knew that for 20 years, 15 at least, I didn't want anything written about me. Then, you know, things happen, finally it's OK and I trust Larry. Nothing about it is salacious in any way.
Al Pacino
There is no happiness. There is only concentration.
Al Pacino
I understand the directors much more. I was always rebelling against them when I was a youngster, I didn't want to be told what to do. I had no identification.
