More quotes by 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
Most of the successful people in Hollywood are failures as human beings.
Marlon Brando
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.
Marlon Brando
It is a simple fact that all of us use the techniques of acting to achieve whatever ends we seek.
Marlon Brando
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
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
We only have so many faces in our pockets
Marlon Brando
I only mean forty per cent of what I say.
Marlon Brando
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.
Marlon Brando
It's a long climb up Fools' Hill.
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
An actor's a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening.
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
Too much success can ruin you as surely as too much failure.
Marlon Brando
All I want to be is normally insane.
Marlon Brando
I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.
Marlon Brando
The principal benefit acting has afforded me is the money to pay for my psychoanalysis.
Marlon Brando
Acting is an empty and useless profession.
Marlon Brando
The most repulsive thing you could ever imagine is the inside of a camel's mouth. That and watching a girl eat octopus or squid.
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
