You don't get to know anybody in a movie until after it's over. You work less together in a film than you do onstage.

More quotes by Al Pacino
I wouldn't be interested in [nowadays] television simply because I think it goes too fast. Except if something was maybe a play on television or some great television script.
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
It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart.
Al Pacino
I hope the perception is that I'm an actor, I never intended to be a movie star.
Al Pacino
I don't talk politics and I don't talk philosophy or anything like that, but if you look at my work, you might get an expression of me as a person.
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
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
You'll never be alone if you’ve got a book.
Al Pacino
Larry Grobel has the illness of all writers, he can't help himself. You're talking to him and all of a sudden, you say, He's puttin' that in his cash register!
Al Pacino
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.
Al Pacino
It was a compromise. There was a sense that I could write my own memoirs, and Larry [Grobel] would help me down the line, or maybe not, maybe he was too close to me.
Al Pacino
Show me a bad script and I will show you a big payday.
Al Pacino
Whether he's doing great acting or not, you're seeing somebody who is in the tradition of a great actor. What he does with it, that's something else, but he's got it all. The talent, the instrument is there, that's why he has endured.
Al Pacino
Sometimes what we imagine and the world aren't different things. Sometimes they are the same exact thing.
Al Pacino
There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.
Al Pacino
Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow.
Al Pacino
When [Julia Marie Pacino] was 5 or 6 years old, we were in an Italian restaurant, and these people came by the table and they would start talking to me, asking me for my autograph and she just went under the table.
Al Pacino
Everything changes with age. The parts change with age, your feelings about them change, roles that I would've wanted to play 10 years ago, I don't want to play now.
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
[Oscar Wilde's Salome screenplay] is not autobiographical in a sense where you go to my house and see my kids and stuff like that, but that's why I guess it's semi-autobiographical.
Al Pacino
