More quotes by 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
All I am is what I'm going after.
Al Pacino
It's not personal, it's strictly business
Al Pacino
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.
Al Pacino
On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is -- can you win or lose like a man?

Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later and then you listen to the movie. And it sort of plays in your mind like a film, like a first rough cut of a movie.

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
I'm always on a red carpet . . . the other day I thought, this ain't bad. You can meet people on it.
Al Pacino
When my mother got home from work, she would take me to the movies. It was her way of getting out, and she would take me with her. I'd go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor.
Al Pacino
The literal, basic thing of the stage is really like a magnet. It brings me back to earth.
Al Pacino
I don't need bodyguards. I'm from the South Bronx.
Al Pacino
I like women who can cook. That's first. Love is very important, but you've got to have a friend first - you want to finally come to a point where you say that the women you're with is also your friend.
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
I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.
