Details Writer: Lawrence Grobel; Genre: Nonfiction; Publisher: Simon Spotlight

In nine expanded interviews with Grobel from 1979 to 2005 for publications like Playboy and ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, Pacino touches on The Godfather, 9/11, and how acting differs from sex: ''I love work because it keeps sex in perspective. Otherwise it can become a preoccupation.''

Last Word
The Q&A format reveals Pacino as a deep thinker with wicked wit.
