Al Pacino

The actor becomes an emotional athlete. The process is painful - my personal life suffers.

My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.

My weaknesses... I wish I could come up with something. I'd probably have the same pause if you asked me what my strengths are. Maybe they're the same thing.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
