Quote

When you perform with a live audience, the audience comes back to you, so that you and the audience are giving to each other, in a sense. It's an extraordinary thing. It's wild turf up there.

I'm so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go.

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.

I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.
Al Pacino
Image
The play is the source, it is orchestrated with words. In a movie, you are not dealing with as much as that. There are machines and wires. When you're acting for a camera, it keeps taking and never giving back.
Al Pacino
Image
The literal, basic thing of the stage is really like a magnet. It brings me back to earth.

[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.

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.

I would say I am more concerned with the plays I'm going to do than the movies. I'm more comfortable in a play. In film, there's always a certain sense of control, of holding back. The stage is different there's more to act. There are more demands put on you, more experiences to go through.

A kiss is a lusty dollop of dessert to be served with desire and savored with passion.

If something is working, don't fix it. Keep going. Go with the glow.

Image
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.

Drinking and smoking grass were a part of my life as far back as I can remember.

I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.

The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.

I have a life and do a lot of things, and so far my work has been my life. If I was a painter no one would question me about my age. I'm an artist, I hate saying that.

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.

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.

Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow.
