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.

I'm much more a European Italian than I am an American Italian, and I've always felt that that style of acting comedy is in me. I put comedy as much as I can into all my movies, if I can help it.

Image
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
Image
There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.

Image
I’ve always been in the theater. I’ve always gone to it. That’s been my way to cope. Early on in my career, I remember running - fleeing - to the theater as a way of coping with all the meshugaas that was going on for me.

Actors are always outsiders. It's necessary to be able to interpret - and that gets distorted when you become famous.

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.

Great directors can understand the staging in such a way that can make a scene come alive. Others have a certain way of pacing the scene.

Image
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.

Image
I believe in one day at a time you've got TODAY, that's what you' ve got.
Al Pacino
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Vanity is my favourite sin.
Al Pacino
Image
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.

Take a look at Israel's history and you would know who the terrorist is.
Al Pacino
Image
Be careful how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life in one moment.

Image
The literal, basic thing of the stage is really like a magnet. It brings me back to earth.

Image
People are always asking me to do Shakespeare - at home, at colleges, on film locations, in restaurants. It's like playing a piece of music, getting all the notes. It's great therapy.

We live in a world where the more you're working, the more things you do. It's a workaday world.

To be or not to be is [by William Shakespeare] beyond anything I can comprehend. I understand it on a superficial level, but the depth of it just boggles my mind. I think it's probably the greatest of all speeches ever written.
