Our life is looking forward or looking back, that's it. Where is the moment?

The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.

I come from the South Bronx - a true descendant of the melting pot. I grew up in a really mixed neighborhood; it was a very integrated life.

It wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.

[Julie Marie Pacino]is a great ballplayer, which I wanted to be. She did make four films by the time she was 14 but we're not going to talk about that.

Actually, the person I related to was James Dean. I grew up with the Dean thing. Rebel Without A Cause had a very powerful effect on me.
