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.

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.

The principal benefit acting has afforded me is the money to pay for my psychoanalysis.
Marlon Brando
Image
People around me never say anything. They just seem to want to hear what I have to say. That's why I do all the talking.
Marlon Brando

Ask most kids about details about Auschwitz or about how the American Indians were assassinated as a people and they don't know anything about it. They don't want to know anything. Most people just want their beer or their soap opera or their lullaby.

If you're successful, acting is about as soft a job as anybody could ever wish for. But if you're unsuccessful it's worse than having a skin disease.
Marlon Brando
Image
If you want something from an audience, you give blood to their fantasies. It's the ultimate hustle.
Marlon Brando

Acting is an empty and useless profession.

If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.
