All the amazing people that I`ve worked with - Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman - have told me consistently: don`t compromise. Do your work, and if what you`re giving is not what they want, you have to be prepared to walk away.
Johnny Depp
[on talking to his Any Given Sunday (1999) costar, Al Pacino] When Johnny [John Cusack] and I were shooting The Jack Bull (1999) (TV) in Calgary, he told me just to go up and knock on Al`s trailer door. That`s the secret of talking to him. If no one knock...
John McGinley
I actually love auditioning because I usually don`t get the part. I`ve tested with Daniel Day-Lewis, De Niro, Pacino, Tom Cruise. So I`ve gotten to that point, and I understand when I don`t get it. There are a lot of very talented people out there.
Deborah Kara Unger
I admire people like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando, Spencer Tracy, who seem to be so very real-I don`t know how they do it. When I was young I admired Leslie Howard enormously, in films like The Scarlet Pimpernel, Gone With the Wind, and Pygmal...
Max Sydow
I`ve never been passionate about acting, and I find more and more that I work to live the life I want to live. An actor like Al Pacino lives to act. I`m not sure though, there`s something about the detachment I have, the feeling of the lack of importance ...
Jeremy Irons
[on actors taking themselves too seriously] The truth is . . . myself, De Niro [Robert De Niro], Pacino [Al Pacino], Hoffman [Dustin Hoffman], we were arrogant, pompous asses.
James Caan

James Caan
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
One of my dreams came true when Julian [Schnabel] showed the movie [Before Night Falls (2000)] to Al Pacino and he called me at 3 a.m. Spanish time and told me he liked my performance. I told him, `I don`t believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.`

Javier Bardem
They compare me to Al Pacino -- I admire and appreciate the comparison. But, really, I`d rather be thought of as "the first Adrien Brody," than "the new Al Pacino!

Adrien Brody
I don`t know. I want to go home at the end of the day and feel like I left a certain part of myself behind. You watch a Pacino performance, a DeNiro performance, you sit back in wonder and watch what they did. I`m curious as to what it would take for me t...
Charlie Sheen
Not to sound like a whore, but I`ve been with...I`ve worked with...some very attractive men. Nicolas Cage...Al Pacino...Ben Stiller...and Woody Allen.
Tea Leoni
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don`t think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they`re diff...
Sam Rockwell
I think of myself as a journeyman actor. I`ve got some talent and I work hard, but people like Brando or Pacino-those people are touched by God.
Sam Rockwell
[on working with Al Pacino on "Bobby Deerfield"] He`s always asking questions. He`s very hard on a director. In a nightclub scene he wanted to know, "Is this the first or second time we`ve been here?" He wants to know what day of the week it is for a scen...
Sydney Pollack
[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
There are so many people I would love to work with, like Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Gary Oldman - maybe Tom Cruise. I wanna play his brother in something - so call my agent!
Scott Wolf
It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I`ve worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I`ve worked with... Sir Ben Kingsley.
