The close-up says everything.
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.

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

We only have so many faces in our pockets
Marlon Brando

Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.
Marlon Brando
Image
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.
