Image
The military mind has one aim, and that is to make soldiers react as mechanically as possible. They want the same predictability in a man as they do in a telephone or a machine gun, and they train their soldiers to act as a unit, not as individuals.

Acting, in general, is something most people think they're incapable of, but they do it from morning to night. The subtlest acting I've ever seen is by ordinary people trying to show they feel something they don't, or trying to hide something. It's something everyone learns at an early age.

I think awards in this country at this time are inappropriate to be received or given until the condition of the American Indian is drastically altered. If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.

The more sensitive you are, the more certain you are to be brutalized, develop scabs, never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything, because you always feel to much.
Marlon Brando
Image
We make up any excuse to preserve myths about people we love, but the reverse is also true if we dislike an individual we adamantly resist changing our opinion, even when somebody offers proof of his decency, because it's vital to have myths about both the gods and devils in our lives.

If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.
Marlon Brando
Image
Acting is an empty and useless profession.
Marlon Brando

All I want to be is normally insane.
Marlon Brando

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so he must be willing to accept all experiences that life can offer.
