It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

I don't ever give my opinion....

I don't ever give my opinion. Opinions I have about anything are in my personal life.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

My weaknesses... I wish I cou...

My weaknesses... I wish I could come up with something. I'd probably have the same pause if you asked me what my strengths are. Maybe they're the same thing.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

The problem with me is, I gue...

The problem with me is, I guess, the way I express myself, you have to be with me 50 years before you can get a sense of what I'm talking about.

I used to wear disguises, like hats and false beards, just to walk around and avoid attention.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

When I was a younger actor, I...

When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I'm going to do a big scene that's dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.

My dad was in the army. World...

My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didn't know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother.

Did you know I started out as...

Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don't believe me when I tell them. That's how I saw myself, in comedy.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

I do believe, and I will alwa...

I do believe, and I will always believe, that Shakespeare on film is really something that should be tried more often because it is an opportunity to take the humanity that Shakespeare writes into characters and express it.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

Francis Ford Coppola did this...

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.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

The hardest thing about being...

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.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

It surprised me, the feeling ...

It surprised me, the feeling I got when I won the Oscar for 'Scent of a Woman.' It was a new feeling. I'd never felt it. I don't see my Oscar much now. But when I first got it, there was a feeling for weeks afterward that I guess is akin to winning a gold medal in the Olympics.

The actor becomes an emotional athlete. The process is painful - my personal life suffers.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

I've often said there's two kinds of actors. There's a more gregarious type and the shy type.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

All due respect and trying to...

All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on 'Dancing with the Stars,' mainly because I would be too shy.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

Jamie Foxx does a good rendit...

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 166 quotes

Most everybody who's Italian ...

Most everybody who's Italian is half Italian. Except me. I'm all Italian. I'm mostly Sicilian, and I have a little bit of Neapolitan in me. You get your full dose with me.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

At this point in my career, I...

At this point in my career, I don't have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

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.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

It's never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway, because you - you know, you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.
