We only have so many faces in our pockets
Marlon Brando

Elvis Presley... had nothing to do with excellence, just myth.
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.

If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.
Marlon Brando
Image
An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so he must be willing to accept all experiences that life can offer.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Sometimes you just get the feeling that here it is 11o'clock in the morning and you're not in school.
Marlon Brando
Image
There's a line in the picture where he snarls, 'Nobody tells me what to do.' That's exactly how I've felt all my life.
Marlon Brando
Image
It's the hardest thing in the world to accept a 'little' success and leave it that way.
Marlon Brando
Image
Acting is an empty and useless profession.
Marlon Brando
Image
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
Image
Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.
Marlon Brando
Image
Regret is useless in life. It's in the past. All we have is now.
Marlon Brando
Image
Most of the successful people in Hollywood are failures as human beings.
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.

I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.
