It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.

More quotes by Al Pacino
Freedom, baby, is never having to say youre sorry.
Al Pacino
The play is the source, it is orchestrated with words. In a movie, you are not dealing with as much as that. There are machines and wires. When you're acting for a camera, it keeps taking and never giving back.
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
That's the way to live - around people who care. It may be a tough ride, but something is going to come out of it.
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
Sometimes the only way you can get an audience is at an audition.
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
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
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
A kiss is a lusty dollop of dessert to be served with desire and savored with passion.
Al Pacino
There is no happiness. There is only concentration.
Al Pacino
Learning (Shakespeare's plays) ...in school was a bit of a bore.
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
I once asked my oldest daughter [Julia Marie] if she thought about changing her name in school and she said, No, I'm a Pacino. That's my name. I just wondered how it would feel, how people would treat her, but she's adjusted so marvelously.
Al Pacino
I was playing a part of someone dealing dope on a street corner - and there was a guy actually dealing heroin right there. I looked at him, he looked at me, and I got real confused.
Al Pacino
Opinions I have about anything are in my personal life.
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
I was watching Revolution, and the things I did in that picture, holy smokes! I can't believe I did that, it's like another person. It's the thought of it, it's just appalling to me.
Al Pacino
When my mother got home from work, she would take me to the movies. It was her way of getting out, and she would take me with her. I'd go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor.
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
