«Después de ganar el premio Tony por The Basic Training of Pablo Hummel, subí al escenario sin ningún tipo de discurso preparado, y terminé diciendo: 'Estoy agradecido con el teatro, que hizo posible el cine para mí, y ahora agradezco al cine, que me hace posible el teatro».^[1]

«A menos que hayas tenido anonimato y lo hayas perdido, es difícil saber qué es el anonimato. Es algo poderoso. Es la capacidad de poder ser, mezclarse y relacionarse con la gente en un nivel en el que realmente te estás ganando todo lo que haces con alguien, te estás ganando la relación».^[2]

«[...] cuanto menos te vean y cuanto menos tu personalidad esté relacionada a tu trabajo o a los personajes que interpretas, mejor. Te da más oportunidades de tomar diferentes direcciones y el público te acepta más fácilmente de lo que lo hacen cuando tienen mucho trasfondo y saben mucho sobre ti, porque ponen eso en el papel que están viendo».^[3]

«Cuanto más anónimo seas, más fácil será para la audiencia aceptarte en el papel. Creo que comienza, comienza allí. Y también es básicamente porque creo que soy algo tímido».^[4]

«Depende del guion, pero hay que ensayar. De hecho, lo más extraño es que cuanto más ensayas, más espontáneo te vuelves. Es lo contrario de lo que la gente piensa. Los actores que no están acostumbrados a ensayar dirán: "Quiero ser espontáneo cuando llegue". Y esa es la forma en que hacen la mayoría de las películas ahora. No hay tiempo de ensayo. En el ensayo, puedes hacer cosas diferentes».^[5]

Citas sobre Pacino

«Nos desafió a todos con su presencia. Él era Al Pacino. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él? Tenía el poder de eliminar a cualquiera en la película en cualquier momento. Al Pacino era tan impredecible como persona como lo eran sus personajes en la pantalla. Para mí, eso es lo que le dio a su actuación un interés tan apremiante; nunca sabías lo que su personaje iba a hacer a continuación. Todos sabíamos que estábamos haciendo una buena película con un gran actor, pero también vivíamos en un mundo de miedo e inseguridad».^[6]
- Jerry Ziesmer, asistente de dirección en Scarface.
«No le dije mucho a Pacino cuando estábamos haciendo El padrino, pero no solo lo considero uno de los mejores actores de Estados Unidos, sino del mundo».^[7]
- Marlon Brando
«Me acerqué a Pacino después de una serie de tomas y le di una indicación sobre lo que quería. Me dijo: "Ya lo hice. No puedes verlo a simple vista, pero quedó grabado". Lo busqué y dije: "Oh, Dios mío", porque ahí estaba. Los grandes actores de cine pueden hacer eso».^[8]
- Christopher Nolan, director de Pacino en Insomnia.
