We live in a world where the more you're working, the more things you do. It's a workaday world.

I can see [ talent or curiosity for acting] in my oldest daughter [Julia Marie Pacino]. I don't know how long she'll run away from it, but it's there in her.

Image
Shakespeare is one of the reasons I've stayed an actor. Sometimes I spend full days doing Shakespeare by myself, just for the joy of reading it, saying those words... I do Shakespeare when I am feeling a certain way.

Responsibilities are relative. My responsibility is to a character in a script, to a part I'm playing.

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

The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn't think I had it in me ever, and I wasn't terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties. That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.

Opinions I have about anything are in my personal life.

I'm always on a red carpet . . . the other day I thought, this ain't bad. You can meet people on it.

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.

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
Image
I love work because it keeps sex in perspective. Otherwise, it can become a preoccupation.

On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is -- can you win or lose like a man?

[Marlon] Brando's a giant on every level. When he acts it's as if he landed from another planet. A planet where they produce great actors.

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
Image
It was a compromise. There was a sense that I could write my own memoirs, and Larry [Grobel] would help me down the line, or maybe not, maybe he was too close to me.

Image
I had these little babies [my twins] and it gave me something so spectacular, such a feeling - I was so turned on and so excited by them that I wrote a poem. I had it on scraps of paper and the maid threw it out.

Learning (Shakespeare's plays) ...in school was a bit of a bore.

Image
I'm naturally shy but I've done this [movie Salomaybe] so much and you get better at it than you would think.

I never saw myself as a director. It's certainly a second language but making movies for 40 years, you pick stuff up. However, this style of making movies, this documentary style, is easier for me because I gather a lot of material and with an editor, write it on screen. You try to write based on what you shot.

I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.
