"Forget the career, do the work. If you feel what you are doing is on line and you're going someplace and you have a vision and you stay with it, eventually things will happen."
— Al Pacino
Forget The Career Do The Work
Forget the career, do the work. If you feel what you are doing is on line and you're going someplace and you have a vision and you stay with it, eventually things will happen.
About this quote
Pacino has offered this advice in various interviews about his approach to acting and career management. His own biography illustrates the principle: despite enormous fame following The Godfather (1972), Pacino was notoriously selective about roles throughout the 1970s and 1980s, sometimes going years between films, always prioritizing the work over its commercial or promotional context.
