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.

If you want something from an audience, you give blood to their fantasies. It's the ultimate hustle.
Marlon Brando
