More quotes by Al Pacino

Al Pacino
I'm naturally shy but I've done this [movie Salomaybe] so much and you get better at it than you would think.
Al Pacino
Actually, the person I related to was James Dean. I grew up with the Dean thing. Rebel Without A Cause had a very powerful effect on me.

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
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 wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.
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
A kiss is a lusty dollop of dessert to be served with desire and savored with passion.
Al Pacino
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.
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
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
I' ve won awards. And they didn't make me feel bad winning them. They made me feel pretty good. But it also did not make me feel bad NOT winning the Academy Award.
