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
Vanity: my favorite sin.
Al Pacino
It turned out that time doesn't heal the wound , but in its so merciful way , blunts the edges ever so slightly
Al Pacino
I probably write a poem every 50 years.
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
Sometimes you're fighting corporations and forget that people can talk to each other.
Al Pacino
The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.
