More quotes by Al Pacino
Vanity: my favorite sin.
Al Pacino
I love work because it keeps sex in perspective. Otherwise, it can become a preoccupation.
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
Great directors can understand the staging in such a way that can make a scene come alive. Others have a certain way of pacing the scene.
Al Pacino
I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.
Al Pacino
Love is overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate
Al Pacino
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.
Al Pacino
I didn't go for the needle at all. I never cared for drugs, because I saw what they did to most people. I thought that was the end of the road.
Al Pacino
Is it possible to do something that that makes an audience uncomfortable, challenges them, makes them see things they're not used to? Here in these films [Salome the play and Salomaybe], I have the opportunity to say something about how I feel about things.
Al Pacino
When I was doing 'Scarface,' I remember being in love at that time. One of the few times in my life. And I was so glad it was at that time. I would come home and she would tell me about her life that day and all her problems and I remember saying to her, look, you really got me through this picture because I would shed everything when I came home.
Al Pacino
Actually, the person I related to was James Dean. I grew up with the Dean thing. Rebel Without A Cause had a very powerful effect on me.
Al Pacino
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.
Al Pacino
Our life is looking forward or looking back, that's it. Where is the moment?
Al Pacino
I haven't encouraged [Julia Marie Pacino] or discouraged her. I let her go her own way. I did say to her that I thought that she had a real gift, and it's a good idea to know that. It's always good to go with your gift.
Al Pacino
I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.
Al Pacino
It was a compromise. There was a sense that I could write my own memoirs, and Larry [Grobel] would help me down the line, or maybe not, maybe he was too close to me.
Al Pacino
I want to be interesting in an interview just as much as I want to do well in a part.
Al Pacino
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
Pretty soon I'll start worrying about [my fame] because [my children] carry my name and they have that exposure. The whole thing is, they never asked for it, that kingdom.
Al Pacino
Sometimes you're fighting corporations and forget that people can talk to each other.
