Adrien Quotes

They compare me to Al Pacino -- I admire and appreciate the comparison. But, really, I`d rather be thought of as "the first Adrien Brody," than "the new Al Pacino!

(On proclaiming himself a magician at age five) "I was an amazing Adrien. I may still be at times. In retrospect, I see that was my first performance. And you know a lot about magic is not just the trick, it`s the pattern. It`s the delivery. It`s the presentation. And this is why you`re going to be amazed."

(On working with Roman Polanski on The Pianist (2002)) "We were shooting a scene and he`s like: `Adrien, I need you to climb up the building. And I want you to go up to the roof and I want you to climb out the window. And I want you to hang and they`re going to shoot at you. And I want you to slide off the building and hold on to the gutter and then you`re going to fall,` And I said, `Has anyone tried this before?` And he said, `Hollywood actors! Come on, I show you, I show you.` And he runs up the building, sixty-eight years old, climbs out the window and hangs from the window, slides down the roof of the building, hangs from the gutter, jumps down to the ground, brushes himself off and he said, `There, somebody did it. Now do it.`"

(Upon being described as "a young Al Pacino") "I`m a young Adrien Brody, thanks."

I`m flying out to India in January to start shooting. I`m really excited about it because I`m a huge Wes Anderson fan. I am going to be playing the wife of Damian Brody. Did I say Damian? Yes, I`m sorry, I meant Adrien Brody - I am his wife.
