Picture of Al Pacino

“I’m between the movies and the theater and that’s sort of my life so I don’t consider myself one or the other. I’m an actor… I like movies in some ways as much as I like the theater, in some ways. But my preference to the theater simply because it’s the life that I was most familiar with and the life that attracted me to being an actor… everything I do every day, everything, is to get to a point where you don’t have to act it, and all you’re doing is going through the thing and you’re not acting it. You just know what you’re talking about so much that you don’t have to act it. That’s what the whole thing is about.” ——— AL, in conversation with Lawrence Grobel circa ‘83 //
