In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.
Marlon Brando
Image
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
Image
It's the hardest thing in the world to accept a 'little' success and leave it that way.
Marlon Brando
Image
If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.

(...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.

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.

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

Would people applaud me if I was a good plumber?

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
Image
All I want to be is normally insane.
Marlon Brando
Image
Too much success can ruin you as surely as too much failure.
Marlon Brando
Image
What might be a brave choice for you, for another person they may simply not experience fear.
Marlon Brando
Image
I only mean forty per cent of what I say.
Marlon Brando
Image
It is a simple fact that all of us use the techniques of acting to achieve whatever ends we seek.
Marlon Brando
Image
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.

If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.
Marlon Brando
Image
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
Image
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.
