More quotes by Al Pacino
There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
Al Pacino
Take a look at Israel's history and you would know who the terrorist is.
Al Pacino
Shakespeare's plays are more violent than 'Scarface.'
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
If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.
Al Pacino
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
I want to be interesting in an interview just as much as I want to do well in a part.
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
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
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
It wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.
Al Pacino
The difference between the actor and the painter is that the actor would buy somebody a knish in order to have them watch him act.
Al Pacino
Certainly the movies were always in the air for me. I come from the era when actors thought it was a big deal to be in the movies.
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
The problem with me is, I guess, the way I express myself, you have to be with me 50 years before you can get a sense of what I'm talking about.
Al Pacino
I can see [ talent or curiosity for acting] in my oldest daughter [Julia Marie Pacino]. I don't know how long she'll run away from it, but it's there in her.
Al Pacino
All I am is what I'm going after.
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
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
I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.
