When my mother got home from work, she would take me to the movies. It was her way of getting out, and she would take me with her. I'd go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor.
There is no happiness. There is only concentration.
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.
I don’t understand the hatred and fear of gays and bisexuals and lesbians…
it’s a concept I honestly cannot grasp. To me, it’s not who you love…
a man, a woman, what have you…
it’s the fact that you love. That is all that truly matters.
From Al Pacino
It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart.
Be careful how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life in one moment.
You do get very tired sometimes, when you're sitting around for hours in movies. You get depleted.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in every break of the game every minute, every second.
