More quotes by Marlon Brando
Would people applaud me if I was a good plumber?
Marlon Brando
I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.
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
Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.
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
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
Hey, you wanna hear my philosophy of life? Do it to him before he does it to you.
Marlon Brando
In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.
Marlon Brando
We only have so many faces in our pockets
Marlon Brando
The principal benefit acting has afforded me is the money to pay for my psychoanalysis.
Marlon Brando
Horror and moral terror are your friends.
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
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
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
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
I only mean forty per cent of what I say.
Marlon Brando
I have decided to tell the story of my life as best I can, so that my children can separate the truth from the myths that others have created about me, as myths are created about everyone swept up in the turbulent and distorting maelstrom of celebrity in our culture.
Marlon Brando
Acting is an empty and useless profession.
Marlon Brando
Even today I meet people who think of me automatically as a tough, insensitive, coarse guy named Stanley Kowalski. They can't help it, but, it is troubling.
Marlon Brando
Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.
