![“The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn't think I had it in me ever, and I wasn't terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties. That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.” quote by Al Pacino](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/62d/al-pacino-1656_acting_the-physical-stamina-in-revolution-i-was_2503538.jpg)
