"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 didn't 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."

"كان والدي جنديًا في الحرب العالمية الثانية، وقد نال تعليمه الجامعي بفضل الجيش. بعد الحرب، عمل مندوب مبيعات للتأمين. في الحقيقة، لم أعرف والدي جيدًا؛ فقد انفصل عن أمي بعد الحرب، وتولت جدتي وجدي لأمي، بالإضافة إلى أمي، تربيتي."

"Doing Shakespeare once is not fair to the play. I have been in Shakespeare plays when it's not until the last two or three performances when I even understand certain things. In the old days star actors would travel the world doing the same parts over and over again."
"إن تمثيل مسرحية لشكسبير مرة واحدة لا يوفيها حقها. لقد شاركت في مسرحيات شكسبير ولم أستوعب بعض الأمور إلا في العرضين أو الثلاثة الأخيرة. في الأيام الخوالي، كان نجوم التمثيل يجوبون العالم مؤدين الأدوار ذاتها مراراً وتكراراً."

"I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience."
"لا أظن أن على الممثلين أن يتوقعوا الحصول على دورٍ قط، لأن خيبة الأمل حينئذٍ تكون عظيمة. بل يجب أن تنظر إلى الأمور كفرصة؛ فالتجربة فرصةٌ لملاقاة جمهور."

"You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers."
"يحتاج الممثل إلى قدر من عدم اليقين، فهو وقود يلهب جذوته. لم يراودني بعدُ فكر الاعتزال، وقد صُدمتُ حين سمعتُ عن اعتزال بول نيومان في الثانية والثمانين. فمعظم الممثلين يتلاشون بهدوء، كجنودٍ قدامى يغيبون عن الأنظار."
Al Pacino
"The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying - even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear."
