I love work because it keeps sex in perspective. Otherwise, it can become a preoccupation.

Freedom, baby, is never having to say youre sorry.

I once asked my oldest daughter [Julia Marie] if she thought about changing her name in school and she said, "No, I'm a Pacino. That's my name." I just wondered how it would feel, how people would treat her, but she's adjusted so marvelously.

I've had very deep relationships that lasted for long periods of time with people - you could almost call them marriages, even though I didn't marry. But it was costly.

There are a couple of times I would've liked to have married. I think I made a mistake, especially once.

There is no happiness. There is only concentration.

In America most everybody who's Italian is half Italian. Except me. I'm all Italian. I'm mostly Sicilian, and I have a little bit of Neapolitan in me. You get your full dose with me.
