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.

More quotes by Al Pacino
It's not personal, it's strictly business
Al Pacino
I once asked my oldest daughter [Julia Marie] if she thought about changing her name in school and she said, No, I'm a Pacino. That's my name. I just wondered how it would feel, how people would treat her, but she's adjusted so marvelously.
Al Pacino
An actor basically likes to be asked to do something, no matter what position he's in. It feels more natural. Sitting and waiting is more gratifying.
Al Pacino
Jamie Foxx does a good rendition of me. It's a real gift, mimicry of that kind, the tonal thing. It's sort of like having a talent for playing an instrument.
Al Pacino
Is it possible to do something that that makes an audience uncomfortable, challenges them, makes them see things they're not used to? Here in these films [Salome the play and Salomaybe], I have the opportunity to say something about how I feel about things.
Al Pacino
I never saw myself as a director. It's certainly a second language but making movies for 40 years, you pick stuff up. However, this style of making movies, this documentary style, is easier for me because I gather a lot of material and with an editor, write it on screen. You try to write based on what you shot.
Al Pacino
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.
Al Pacino
I'm so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go.
Al Pacino
Love is overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate
Al Pacino
Responsibilities are relative. My responsibility is to a character in a script, to a part I'm playing.
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
You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is.
Al Pacino
Playing a character is an illusion, and I feel that when you know too much about a person, possibly part of that illusion is disrupted.
Al Pacino
I'm an actor, and everything about me - the way I perceive things, the way I have seen the world - has been in relation to characters and how I would want to play something or not play 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
I don't need bodyguards. I'm from the South Bronx.
Al Pacino
Chekhov was as important to me as anybody as a writer.
Al Pacino
sometimes it's better to be with the devil u know than the angel u didn't know
Al Pacino
It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart.
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
