Al Pacino
I personally think if you're given four months instead of four weeks on a play, with the people who want to work that way, the play will invariably be different and stronger, and much more fulfilling and richer on all counts. There's no doubt in my mind about it.
Al Pacino
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
Pretty soon I'll start worrying about [my fame] because [my children] carry my name and they have that exposure. The whole thing is, they never asked for it, that kingdom.
Al Pacino
It wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.
Al Pacino
There is no happiness. There is only concentration.
Al Pacino
The difference between the actor and the painter is that the actor would buy somebody a knish in order to have them watch him act.
