More quotes by Al Pacino
Love goes through different stages. But it endures.

If you get all tangled up, just tango on.
Al Pacino
We live in a world where the more you're working, the more things you do. It's a workaday world.

I'm naturally shy but I've done this [movie Salomaybe] so much and you get better at it than you would think.
Al Pacino
Opinions I have about anything are in my personal life.
Al Pacino
I love work because it keeps sex in perspective. Otherwise, it can become a preoccupation.
Al Pacino
Actors are always outsiders. It's necessary to be able to interpret - and that gets distorted when you become famous.
Al Pacino
The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls.
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
Sometimes the only way you can get an audience is at an audition.
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
[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.
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.
