Hollywood superstar Al Pacino has revealed money has never been his prerogative as he is not materialistic.
The 75-year-old actor said he even slept in a store front during his young days, reported Guardian online.
"There were times when I was young when I could have used money: after college I was often unemployed and at one time I slept in a storefront for a few days. But I've never been materialistic. Except that I am, of course, because my lifestyle makes me a spender!," he said.
The "Godfather" star said his grandfather James Gerardi taught him the importance of a work.
"He was a plasterer and work - any kind of work - was the joy of his life. So I grew up wanting to - it's what I've always chased. The joy of work is what keeps me going," he added.
