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.

More quotes by 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
My best advice to any young person is, if you want kids, be careful who you have them with. That's my mantra.
Al Pacino
I want to be a great actor someday, and I've decided there's no use philosophizing the only way is to work at my craft.
Al Pacino
Our ability to manufacture fraud now exceeds our ability to detect it.
Al Pacino
Drinking and smoking grass were a part of my life as far back as I can remember.

I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.
Al Pacino
We start to realize that there are anodynes in life that help us through the day. I don't care if it's a walk in the park, a look out the window, a good bubble bath - whatever. Even a meal you like, or a friend you want to call. That helps us solve all this stuff in our head.
Al Pacino
I would say I am more concerned with the plays I'm going to do than the movies. I'm more comfortable in a play. In film, there's always a certain sense of control, of holding back. The stage is different there's more to act. There are more demands put on you, more experiences to go through.
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
All due respect, and trying to be as modest as I can be: I am a dancer.
Al Pacino
After looking at Salomaybe, I don't know who the hell the real me is. I think it's closest now to the real me because for one thing, I'm used to this.
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 think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.
Al Pacino
When I was younger, there was the sex thing. That's par for the course.When you're a movie star, it went with it. It's a kind of rite of passage, socially.
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
Freedom, baby, is never having to say youre sorry.
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.
