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
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
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
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 didnt 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. – Al Pacino
