Vanity: my favorite sin.

Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later and then you listen to the movie. And it sort of plays in your mind like a film, like a first rough cut of a movie.

I don’t understand the hatred and fear of gays and bisexuals and lesbians… it’s a concept I honestly cannot grasp. To me, it’s not who you love… a man, a woman, what have you… it’s the fact that you love. That is all that truly matters.

Jamie Foxx does a good rendition of me. It's a real gift, mimicry of that kind, the tonal thing. It's sort of like having a talent for playing an instrument.
Al Pacino
[Salomaybe] is my presentation, my vision of the world. Not so much to satisfy the audience at large.
Al Pacino
I come from the South Bronx - a true descendant of the melting pot. I grew up in a really mixed neighborhood it was a very integrated life.
Al Pacino
If you have the opportunity to meet someone as an actor, it's just great fodder for you. It's wonderful source stuff that we die for.

Women have always had equal importance onstage, and working with them must have altered my sensibilities. I've never felt sensitive to the whole issue, because being macho has never been a problem with me.
Al Pacino
There was a time in my life when being dishonest with women was the natural way to be. I finally said, Hey, I have to stop this silliness.
Al Pacino
I always had this thing, when I was younger especially, I didn't want to do movies that much. I found they took a lot out of you and they were exhausting for me in a lot of ways.

Freedom, baby, is never having to say youre sorry.

I didn't want the book [of memoirs] out, naturally - Larry [Grobel] knew that for 20 years, 15 at least, I didn't want anything written about me. Then, you know, things happen, finally it's OK and I trust Larry. Nothing about it is salacious in any way.
