[on The Godfather: Part III (1990)] You know what the problem with that film is? The real problem? Nobody wants to see Michael have retribution and feel guilty. That`s not who he is. In the other scripts, in Michael`s mind he is avenging his family and sa...
Al Pacino
My godfather Timothy Leary coined the phrase `question authority`, it is one of my favorites. To question our government is the most important thing people can do right now in the US.

[On the impact of The Godfather (1972)] "I`d gotten to know quite a few mafiosi, and all of them told me they loved the picture because I had played the Godfather with dignity. Even today I can`t pay a check in Little Italy."
Marlon Brando
[On the impact of The Godfather (1972)] "I`d gotten to know quite a few mafiosi, and all of them told me they loved the picture because I had played the Godfather with dignity. Even today I can`t pay a check in Little Italy."
Marlon Brando
Bad guys stand out in people`s minds. If you think about De Niro or Pacino, you`re not going to stay Stanley and Iris, you are not going to say Author! Author! Even with Brando, you are going to say The Godfather or Street Car. It is the edgier characters...
Ray Liotta
[On being voted "Italian of the Year" in New York twice, after his role as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather (1972)]: I`m a Jew from the Bronx. I feel guilty about accepting these awards, but they wouldn`t let me turn them down.
James Caan
[on being confused with his character from The Godfather (1972)] I`ll bump into a guy in a bar, and he`ll say, "I`m sorry, Sonny!" It`s surreal.
James Caan
[comparing The Godfather: Part II (1974) with "The Sopranos" (1999)] I don`t know anyone who curses the way they do in an Italian household. I never said the word "hell" in front of my mother. That was a different time, but I have sons and they have never...
Danny Aiello
[On his unforgettable role in The Godfather (1972)] "I went home and did some rehearsing to satisfy my curiosity about whether I could play an Italian. I put on some makeup, stuffed Kleenex in my cheeks and worked out the characterization first in front o...
Marlon Brando
The Godfather changed my life, for better or worse. It definitely made me have an older man`s film career when I was 29. So now I say, `If I had my older career when I was young, as an older man, maybe I can have a young film-maker`s career.`
Francis Ford Coppola
Initially, the idea of a sequel seemed horrible to me. It sounded like a tacky spin-off, and I used to joke that the only way I`d do it was if they`d let me film `Abbott and Costello Meet the Godfather`- that would have been fun. Then I entertained some R...
Francis Ford Coppola
About his father taking on the role of Marlon Brando in _Sarkar (2005)_: "Please don`t compare my father with Brando. It belittles both the actors who are big in their own fields. Even if my father plays _The Godfather (1972)_, he`ll do so in his own way....
Abhishek Bachchan
[on the reason he didn`t appear in The Godfather: Part III (1990):] If they paid Pacino twice what they paid me, that`s fine, but not three or four times, which is what they did. (Francis Ford Coppola) came to my farm, parked his car ... went in the kitch...
Robert Duvall
Two more years were to go by before I knew anything about William Blake. Many years later, when his wife died, my godfather gave me the two books as a remembrance.
Allison Gollust
There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It`s not that I totally agreed with it, but it was a great piece of art.
Danny Aiello
I think the last one would have to be The Godfather because it was such a powerful story. There was lots of violence in it but I could take it because I thought there was a reality to it. It wasn`t gratuitous, it was just these guys` story.
Bobby Farrelly
The Godfather" 1 and 2, "Goodfellas," "The Matrix" -- those are movies I can sit down and watch over and over again,
