More quotes by Marlon Brando
Would people applaud me if I was a good plumber?
Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando
In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.
Marlon Brando
Elvis Presley... had nothing to do with excellence, just myth.
Marlon Brando
What might be a brave choice for you, for another person they may simply not experience fear.
Marlon Brando
Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.
Marlon Brando
Too much success can ruin you as surely as too much failure.
Marlon Brando
Acting is an empty and useless profession.
Marlon Brando
Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. But if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers, may they continue to do so. I find it amusing.
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
