Al Pacino opens up about the impact of The Godfather 50 years later
'It just seemed so outrageous. Here I am, talking to somebody who I think is flipped out. I said,"what train am I on? OK. Humor the guy." And he wanted me to do Michael.

Considering himself a bit of a young rebel at the time, the New York City native decided not to attend the Oscars' ceremony. 'I was young in terms of the newness of all this.

I was just unaware of things back then.'
