Al Pacino – Best Actor – Mini Series or TV Motion Picture (You Don’t Know Jack)
On his role in the film: ”It is an advantage to be able to play a real character…it gives you access…it stimulates your imagination because you you feel a kind of credibility when you play a real person.”
On being asked if he thinks Ricky Gervais is going too far: “He’s a comic. So he’s out there letting it go. That’s the only way he can really get his own wit because he needs to uncensor himself. If he censors himself, he’s going to curtail his wit.”
On what he’ll do with his award: He keeps them in different places around the house “like paintings.”

On what she’d do if she weren’t in showbiz: “I think about it a lot… Maybe a psychologist, maybe a graphic designer… Hopefully I won’t have to find out.”
