I'm an actor, and everything about me - the way I perceive things, the way I have seen the world - has been in relation to characters and how I would want to play something or not play it.
Al Pacino
Image
Responsibilities are relative. My responsibility is to a character in a script, to a part I'm playing.

Image
You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.

I probably write a poem every 50 years.

[Oscar Wilde's Salome screenplay] is not autobiographical in a sense where you go to my house and see my kids and stuff like that, but that's why I guess it's semi-autobiographical.

I don't like a lot of things like [Iraq], I never did. Being in a position of celebrity and having your words carry such unnatural weight...I've always been a bit squeamish when it came to that kind of thing.

Image
I don't talk politics and I don't talk philosophy or anything like that, but if you look at my work, you might get an expression of me as a person.

Love is overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate
Al Pacino
Image
It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.
Al Pacino
Image
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.
Al Pacino
Image
Romantic love can be a lot of crap, though, let me tell you. And it can hurt you.
Al Pacino
Image
When you're reading some of the great plays, when you do what I call taking up with a writer, something happens.

Image
My best advice to any young person is, if you want kids, be careful who you have them with. That's my mantra.

Image
We live in a world where the more you're working, the more things you do. It's a workaday world.

Image
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.
Al Pacino
Image
I found that speaking live to people, young people, about what I liked and what had been happening to me was very good for me. I was quite overtaken by success and fame. I was one of those types who responded to it in a negative way. It was not easy.

That's the way to live - around people who care. It may be a tough ride, but something is going to come out of it.

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.
