Al Pacino
Either we heal now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
Al Pacino
If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.

When my mother got home from work, she would take me to the movies. It was her way of getting out, and she would take me with her. I'd go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor.
Al Pacino
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.
Al Pacino
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying - even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.
Al Pacino
I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.
Al Pacino
That's where humour lives for me. In the body. The Steve Martin kind of stuff or Jim Carrey, that's what I like. I've always felt that's what I would like to do.
Al Pacino
In America most everybody who's Italian is half Italian. Except me. I'm all Italian. I'm mostly Sicilian, and I have a little bit of Neapolitan in me. You get your full dose with me.

Either I act or I die.
Al Pacino
I'm so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go.

I went to Performing Arts because that was the only school that would accept me. My scholastic level was not very high.
Al Pacino
[Salomaybe] is my presentation, my vision of the world. Not so much to satisfy the audience at large.
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
Learning (Shakespeare's plays) ...in school was a bit of a bore.
Al Pacino
I found out how temperamental I am, yes. And that sometimes that can be kind of off-putting.
Al Pacino
On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is -- can you win or lose like a man?
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
Everything changes with age. The parts change with age, your feelings about them change, roles that I would've wanted to play 10 years ago, I don't want to play now.
Al Pacino
At this point in my career, I don't have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.
