I Turned Down A Lot Of Films

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 Believe In One Day At A Time; You've Got Today, That's What You' Ve Got.

I Never Saw Myself As A Director. It's Certainly A Second Language But Making Movies For 40 Years, You Pick Stuff Up. However, This Style Of Making Movies, This Documentary Style, Is Easier For Me Because I Gather A Lot Of Material And With An Editor, Write It On Screen. You Try To Write Based On What You Shot.

We Start To Realize That There Are Anodynes In Life That Help Us Through The Day. I Don't Care If It's A Walk In The Park, A Look Out The Window, A Good Bubble Bath - Whatever. Even A Meal You Like, Or A Friend You Want To Call. That Helps Us Solve All This Stuff In Our Head.

Sometimes What We Imagine And The World Aren't Different Things. Sometimes They Are The Same Exact Thing.
