If you have the opportunity to meet someone as an actor, it's just great fodder for you. It's wonderful source stuff that we die for.

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.

What's this thing that gets between us and Shakespeare?

It wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.

Whether he's doing great acti...

Whether he's doing great acting or not, you're seeing somebody who is in the tradition of a great actor. What he does with it, that's something else, but he's got it all. The talent, the instrument is there, that's why he has endured.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

I used to think of myself as ...

I used to think of myself as a comedian. I've always admired comedians. Their minds, the way in which they se the world is so striking, the way they juxtapose things, the way they can see humor in people. There's a liberation in that.

Drinking and smoking grass were a part of my life as far back as I can remember.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

When you perform with a live ...

When you perform with a live audience, the audience comes back to you, so that you and the audience are giving to each other, in a sense. It's an extraordinary thing. It's wild turf up there.

You take a guy like George Clooney who goes out there to Darfur, and gets things done! That's magical. He's done a great thing.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

Acting is hard work. At times...

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.

It was a compromise. There was a sense that I could write my own memoirs, and Larry [Grobel] would help me down the line, or maybe not, maybe he was too close to me.

We were doing Scarface many years ago...and I remember having my coffee and looking at the beach, the surf, and I saw a hundred people looking out into the ocean. I thought, what's going on? Did some whale get washed up to shore? So I stood up on the table to see what it was, and it was the director, Brian De Palma, standing there alone by the surf and they were all waiting for him. And I never forgot that because it represented to me what a director is, what a director does.

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 166 quotes

The physical stamina [in Revo...

The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn't think I had it in me ever, and I wasn't terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties. That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

I learned to wrestle, I learn...

I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

I didn't want the book [of me...

I didn't want the book [of memoirs] out, naturally - Larry [Grobel] knew that for 20 years, 15 at least, I didn't want anything written about me. Then, you know, things happen, finally it's OK and I trust Larry. Nothing about it is salacious in any way.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.

Al Pacino 166 quotes

Is it possible to do something that that makes an audience uncomfortable, challenges them, makes them see things they're not used to? Here in these films [Salome the play and Salomaybe], I have the opportunity to say something about how I feel about things.

Everything changes with age. ...

Everything changes with age. The parts change with age, your feelings about them change, roles that I would've wanted to play 10 years ago, I don't want to play now.
