Its 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. – Al Pacino
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. Youre in a conversation and everybodys agreeing with what youre saying – even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you dont want to hear. – Al Pacino
You need some insecurity if youre an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I havent 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
I dont think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. Youve got to think of things as an opportunity. An auditions an opportunity to have an audience. – Al Pacino
Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive. When I ride through Beverly Hills in the early morning, and all the sprinklers have turned off, the scents that wash over me are just heavenly. Being House is like flying, too. Youre free of the gravity of what people think. – Hugh Laurie
