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. Id go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor. – Al Pacino
All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I dont think I would be on Dancing with the Stars, mainly because I would be too shy. – 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
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
Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen, whether its like discovering a filmmaker who youre taking a chance on, protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going, Im so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle. – Drew Barrymore
