More quotes by Marlon Brando
In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.
Marlon Brando
Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.
Marlon Brando
All I want to be is normally insane.
Marlon Brando
The four pillars of wisdom that support journalistic endeavors are: lies, stupidity, money-grubbing, and ethical irresponsibility.
Marlon Brando
Hey, you wanna hear my philosophy of life? Do it to him before he does it to you.
Marlon Brando
I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.
Marlon Brando
If you want something from an audience, you give blood to their fantasies. It's the ultimate hustle.
Marlon Brando
It's the hardest thing in the world to accept a 'little' success and leave it that way.
Marlon Brando
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.
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.
Marlon Brando
I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.
Marlon Brando
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
If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.
Marlon Brando
There's a line in the picture where he snarls, 'Nobody tells me what to do.' That's exactly how I've felt all my life.
Marlon Brando
The close-up says everything, it's then that an actor's learned, rehearsed behavior becomes most obvious to an audience and chips away, unconsciously, at its experience of reality. In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.
Marlon Brando
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.
Marlon Brando
(...the non-conformist, how do you keep from getting scarred?)/i don’t! i got a scar here…and uh i got a scar on my knee…and uh a few scars on my soul.
Marlon Brando
I put on an act sometimes, and people think I’m insensitive. Really, it’s like a kind of armor because I’m too sensitive. If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn’t like me, I’ve got to get out.
Marlon Brando
If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn't like me, I've got to get out.
Marlon Brando
Sometimes you just get the feeling that here it is 11o'clock in the morning and you're not in school.
