“However, the central thread of the book is the spirit of love. Love can fail and we can fail in our ambitions. But Al Pacino was lucky enough to fall deeply in love with the craft before he even had a vague idea of it. none of his earthly rewards and never fell in love. That makes all the difference,” explains the statement, to which euronews had access.
