City Of Angels

Pacino: I don't think you set out to do that. I think it's innate in the characterization that Tony has made. It's impossible to do that character without getting to the humanity of it. He's already done that work, and so it's up to you to sort of find it in yourself and follow his lead.

Thompson: You know, what he made me think of when I first read the play was Satan in Milton's "Paradise Lost." That's who --he is. And you're so fascinated by Satan, he's the best character.

Pacino: I played him once [in "The Devil's Advocate"].

Nichols: I thought it worked. I quite liked it.

Pacino: As a matter of fact, I did read Milton when I was playing that part. It was very helpful.

Thompson: It's amazing, isn't it? I haven't read it for a long, long time, but my God, that's sort of who he is.
