More quotes by Al Pacino
I haven't encouraged [Julia Marie Pacino] or discouraged her. I let her go her own way. I did say to her that I thought that she had a real gift, and it's a good idea to know that. It's always good to go with your gift.
Al Pacino
Playing a character is an illusion, and I feel that when you know too much about a person, possibly part of that illusion is disrupted.
Al Pacino
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.
Al Pacino
I'm not a violent person, never was, but I have this temperament that I've always displayed. I guess it has to do with my tradition and being Italian, we're very outgoing with our emotions.
Al Pacino
I once asked my oldest daughter [Julia Marie] if she thought about changing her name in school and she said, No, I'm a Pacino. That's my name. I just wondered how it would feel, how people would treat her, but she's adjusted so marvelously.

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
When I was younger, I would go to auditions to have the opportunity to audition, which would mean another chance to get up there and try out my stuff, or try out what I learned and see how it worked with an audience, because where are you gonna get an audience?
Al Pacino
Chekhov was as important to me as anybody as a writer.
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.
Al Pacino
Be careful how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life in one moment.
Al Pacino
If something is working, don't fix it. Keep going. Go with the glow.
Al Pacino
I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
Al Pacino
If I find something and feel as though I can contribute to [it] in a way and feel I'm in it, whatever that means, I'm expressing something that I feel is a way to exercise my talent and help communicate a role as a human being in a movie, I will do that.
Al Pacino
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
I was watching Revolution, and the things I did in that picture, holy smokes! I can't believe I did that, it's like another person. It's the thought of it, it's just appalling to me.
Al Pacino
I didn't go for the needle at all. I never cared for drugs, because I saw what they did to most people. I thought that was the end of the road.

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.
Al Pacino
I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.
Al Pacino
All due respect, and trying to be as modest as I can be: I am a dancer.
