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.

The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn't think I had it in me ever, and I wasn't terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties. That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.

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.

I used to say I wanted to genuflect to a woman, put her up on a pedestal higher and higher, way up beyond my grasp...Then I'd find another one.
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
Larry Grobel has the illness of all writers, he can't help himself. You're talking to him and all of a sudden, you say, He's puttin' that in his cash register!
Al Pacino
There was a time in my life when being dishonest with women was the natural way to be. I finally said, Hey, I have to stop this silliness.
Al Pacino
Women have always had equal importance onstage, and working with them must have altered my sensibilities. I've never felt sensitive to the whole issue, because being macho has never been a problem with me.
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
There are a lot of roles in Shakespeare, basically. If I feel that the script is a movie, I would be interested in doing any role of Shakespeare's.
Al Pacino
That's where humour lives for me. In the body. The Steve Martin kind of stuff or Jim Carrey, that's what I like. I've always felt that's what I would like to do.
Al Pacino
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.

I don't need bodyguards. I'm from the South Bronx.
Al Pacino
Sometimes you're fighting corporations and forget that people can talk to each other.
Al Pacino
