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

I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.
Marlon Brando

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so he must be willing to accept all experiences that life can offer.

Image
What might be a brave choice for you, for another person they may simply not experience fear.
