Any project that I find encouraging that isn't attached to a studio, I can go to them, which I definitely would. You have to take an interest in what you do.

More quotes by Al Pacino
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.
Al Pacino
My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didn't know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother.
Al Pacino
I've often said there's two kinds of actors. There's a more gregarious type and the shy type.
Al Pacino
Be careful how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life in one moment.
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
We live in a world where the more you're working, the more things you do. It's a workaday world.
Al Pacino
If you have the opportunity to meet someone as an actor, it's just great fodder for you. It's wonderful source stuff that we die for.
Al Pacino
I want to be a great actor someday, and I've decided there's no use philosophizing the only way is to work at my craft.
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
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.
Al Pacino
My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.
Al Pacino
Our ability to manufacture fraud now exceeds our ability to detect it.
Al Pacino
The thing that can get you a little upset is when people say other people are better than you. That can bug you.
Al Pacino
I don't like what's going on in Iraq, naturally. I'm part of a large majority of people who don't, but I do not know the whole story. I do not believe what I see on television. I believe a percentage of it, so it's hard for me to discern. I don't like what it's doing to the world.
Al Pacino
I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.
Al Pacino
If you get all tangled up, just tango on.
Al Pacino
I'm always on a red carpet . . . the other day I thought, this ain't bad. You can meet people on it.
Al Pacino
It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.
Al Pacino
When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I'm going to do a big scene that's dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.
Al Pacino
I went to Performing Arts because that was the only school that would accept me. My scholastic level was not very high.
