We live in a world where the more you're working, the more things you do. It's a workaday world.
Al Pacino
There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
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
Vanity: my favorite sin.
Al Pacino
Our life is looking forward or looking back, that's it. Where is the moment?
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
All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on 'Dancing with the Stars,' mainly because I would be too shy.
Al Pacino
Shakespeare is one of the reasons I've stayed an actor. Sometimes I spend full days doing Shakespeare by myself, just for the joy of reading it, saying those words... I do Shakespeare when I am feeling a certain way.
Al Pacino
I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.
Al Pacino
There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.
Al Pacino
I didn't go for the needle at all. I never cared for drugs, because I saw what they did to most people. I thought that was the end of the road.
Al Pacino
Sometimes the only way you can get an audience is at an audition.
Al Pacino
In America most everybody who's Italian is half Italian. Except me. I'm all Italian. I'm mostly Sicilian, and I have a little bit of Neapolitan in me. You get your full dose with me.
Al Pacino
I don't regret anything. I feel like I've made what I would call mistakes. I picked the wrong movie, or I didn't pursue a character, but everything you do is part of you and you get something from it.
Al Pacino
I destroy the painting as soon as I can see what it is. When I can make out something in it, I destroy it because it's no longer coming from my unconscious.
Al Pacino
Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later and then you listen to the movie. And it sort of plays in your mind like a film, like a first rough cut of a movie.
Al Pacino
Sometimes you're fighting corporations and forget that people can talk to each other.
Al Pacino
Man is a little bit better than his reputation, and a little bit worse
Al Pacino
I probably write a poem every 50 years.
Al Pacino
I went back to the stage because it was my way of dealing with the success I had, my way of coping. It was a way of escaping the responsibilty of what was happening.
Al Pacino
