More quotes by Marlon Brando
Regret is useless in life. It's in the past. All we have is now.
Marlon Brando
It's the hardest thing in the world to accept a 'little' success and leave it that way.
Marlon Brando
The close-up says everything.
Marlon Brando
If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.
Marlon Brando
I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.
Marlon Brando
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
(...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
The four pillars of wisdom that support journalistic endeavors are: lies, stupidity, money-grubbing, and ethical irresponsibility.
Marlon Brando
Too much success can ruin you as surely as too much failure.
Marlon Brando
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.
Marlon Brando
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
An actor's a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening.
Marlon Brando
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.
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
If you want something from an audience, you give blood to their fantasies. It's the ultimate hustle.
Marlon Brando
It is a simple fact that all of us use the techniques of acting to achieve whatever ends we seek.
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
Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.
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'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.
Marlon Brando
