More quotes by 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
I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.
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
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.
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
[Salomaybe] is my presentation, my vision of the world. Not so much to satisfy the audience at large.
Al Pacino
All I am is what I'm going after.
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
I haven't encouraged [Julia Marie Pacino] or discouraged her. I let her go her own way. I did say to her that I thought that she had a real gift, and it's a good idea to know that. It's always good to go with your gift.
Al Pacino
I wanted to be a baseball player, naturally, but I wasn't good enough. I didn't know what I was going to do with my life. I just had a kind of energy, I was a fairly happy kid.
Al Pacino
The reasons you have for doing a movie will vary with the way your life is going. There was a time when a made a some movies because I felt I needed to work. And I didn't think about the material as much. But sometimes I've thought about the material a lot and thought I was doing the right thing, and it didn't work out.
Al Pacino
I'm not a violent person, never was, but I have this temperament that I've always displayed. I guess it has to do with my tradition and being Italian, we're very outgoing with our emotions.
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
I turned down a lot of films before I made my first one. I knew that it was time for me to get into movies.
Al Pacino
It's so funny when people who are not used to making movies get into it. You just can't believe how insufferably boring it is. Waiting around and doing these lines over and over and finally having to go in and loop the lines and dub them.
Al Pacino
I don't need bodyguards. I'm from the South Bronx.
Al Pacino
What's this thing that gets between us and Shakespeare?
Al Pacino
Sometimes the only way you can get an audience is at an audition.
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
The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.
