Al Pacino

"Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don't believe me when I tell them."

"All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on Dancing With The Stars mainly because I would be too shy."

"An actor with too much money will usually find a way to get rid of it."

"I always tell the truth. Even when I lie."


"Every time I'd run into Marlon Brando on set, my face would turn red and I'd start laughing. Have you any idea what it was like to do a scene with Brando? I sat in movie houses when I was a kid watching Brando in A streetcar Named Desire and Viva Zapata! Now I'm playing a scene with him."

"I was a kid when Dean came out. Dean was the inspiration. Even the red jacket he wore in Rebel Without A Cause, you saw that red jacket popping up all over the place. He really reached people in a way; it was kind of a phenomenon when you think of it. I wonder what it would be like today, that kind of a person...he made that connection with his audience. And I remember at that time my mother loved him. He reached everybody."

"When I was doing Scarface, I remember being in love at that time. One of the few times in my life. And I was so glad it was at that time. I would come home and she would tell me about her life that day and all her problems and I remember saying to her, `look, you really got me through this picture', because I would shed everything when I came home."

"I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools."

"I don't need bodyguards. I'm from the South Bronx."

"Vanity is my favorite sin."
