Our life is looking forward or looking back, that's it. Where is the moment?
Al Pacino

It's never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway, because you - you know, you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.

When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I'm going to do a big scene that's dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.

The interesting thing about this is I don't know what my vision [ in Salome the play and Salomaybe] is yet about. I'm sensing something and I'm going along with it. It reminds me of a painting, the way Jackson Pollack painted - Jackson Pollack, the great, great artist.

Image
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.

There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

The actor becomes an emotional athlete.

Image
Acting is hard work. At times, it's very energizing and enervating. It's childish. It's also responsible. It's illuminating, enriching, joyful, drab. It's bizarre, diabolical. It's exciting.

Image
I used to say I wanted to genuflect to a woman, put her up on a pedestal higher and higher, way up beyond my grasp...Then I'd find another one.

Vanity is my favourite sin.

Image
I’ve always been in the theater. I’ve always gone to it. That’s been my way to cope. Early on in my career, I remember running - fleeing - to the theater as a way of coping with all the meshugaas that was going on for me.

I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
Al Pacino
Image
The problem with me is, I guess, the way I express myself, you have to be with me 50 years before you can get a sense of what I'm talking about.

Image
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.
Al Pacino
Image
I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.

Image
Certainly the movies were always in the air for me. I come from the era when actors thought it was a big deal to be in the movies.

You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.

Love goes through different stages. But it endures.

Image
The literal, basic thing of the stage is really like a magnet. It brings me back to earth.
