More quotes by Al Pacino
Sometimes you're fighting corporations and forget that people can talk to each other.
Al Pacino
I found out how temperamental I am, yes. And that sometimes that can be kind of off-putting.
Al Pacino
The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.
Al Pacino
I found that speaking live to people, young people, about what I liked and what had been happening to me was very good for me. I was quite overtaken by success and fame. I was one of those types who responded to it in a negative way. It was not easy.
Al Pacino
Either we heal now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
Al Pacino
It turned out that time doesn't heal the wound , but in its so merciful way , blunts the edges ever so slightly
Al Pacino
I like, for instance, 'Serpico.' I enjoyed playing Serpico because Frank Serpico was there. He existed. He was a real life person and I could - I could embody him. I could, you know, I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It's almost like a painter having a model to become.
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
It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.
Al Pacino
I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.
Al Pacino
I used to think of myself as a comedian. I've always admired comedians. Their minds, the way in which they se the world is so striking, the way they juxtapose things, the way they can see humor in people. There's a liberation in that.
Al Pacino
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying - even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.
Al Pacino
I hope the perception is that I'm an actor, I never intended to be a movie star.
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
I don't like a lot of things like [Iraq], I never did. Being in a position of celebrity and having your words carry such unnatural weight...I've always been a bit squeamish when it came to that kind of thing.
Al Pacino
It's never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway, because you - you know, you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.
Al Pacino
If I find something and feel as though I can contribute to [it] in a way and feel I'm in it, whatever that means, I'm expressing something that I feel is a way to exercise my talent and help communicate a role as a human being in a movie, I will do that.
Al Pacino
I want to be interesting in an interview just as much as I want to do well in a part.
Al Pacino
To be really obvious about something, if somebody straps an M1 on your shoulder and throws you in Iraq, you're going to get a sense of what the hell's going on there. Boy, you'll wake up fast when bullets are flying over your head.
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
