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.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

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.
