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.

More quotes by Al Pacino
All I am is what I'm going after.
Al Pacino
I like, for instance, 'Serpico.' I enjoyed playing Serpico because Frank Serpico was there. He existed. He was a real life person and I could - I could embody him. I could, you know, I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It's almost like a painter having a model to become.
Al Pacino
Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow.
Al Pacino
If something is working, don't fix it. Keep going. Go with the glow.
Al Pacino
A kiss is a lusty dollop of dessert to be served with desire and savored with passion.

I've had very deep relationships that lasted for long periods of time with people - you could almost call them marriages, even though I didn't marry. But it was costly.
Al Pacino
I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
Al Pacino
When I was younger, there was the sex thing. That's par for the course.When you're a movie star, it went with it. It's a kind of rite of passage, socially.
Al Pacino

Al Pacino
What's this thing that gets between us and Shakespeare?
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
[Ocean's Thirteen] is a great group, and it was an opportunity to work with Steven Soderbergh. But mainly? It was shot in L.A. and I want to be next to my kids. So I've been doing everything that has to do with being next to them, close to them.
Al Pacino
My grandfather was a provider. Work, any kind of work, was the joy of his life. So I grew up having a certain relationship to work. It was something that I always wanted.
Al Pacino
I understand the directors much more. I was always rebelling against them when I was a youngster, I didn't want to be told what to do. I had no identification.
Al Pacino
I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.
Al Pacino
It's not personal, it's strictly business
Al Pacino
I've never cared for guns. In fact, when I did 'Scent of a Woman' I had to learn how to assemble one.
Al Pacino
There are people whose sense of reality is very strong, who have a sense of honesty. Lee Strasberg is like that, my grandfather was like that. These are the kinds of men I've had close relationships with.
Al Pacino
You'll never be alone if you’ve got a book.
Al Pacino
A lot of acting is private time.
