More quotes by Marlon Brando
Horror and moral terror are your friends.
Marlon Brando
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
Even today I meet people who think of me automatically as a tough, insensitive, coarse guy named Stanley Kowalski. They can't help it, but, it is troubling.
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
It's a long climb up Fools' Hill.
Marlon Brando
The more sensitive you are, the more certain you are to be brutalized, develop scabs, never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything, because you always feel to much.
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
An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so he must be willing to accept all experiences that life can offer.
Marlon Brando
Would people applaud me if I was a good plumber?
Marlon Brando
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.
Marlon Brando
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
Most of the successful people in Hollywood are failures as human beings.
Marlon Brando
All I want to be is normally insane.
Marlon Brando
Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.
Marlon Brando
In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.
Marlon Brando
I only mean forty per cent of what I say.
Marlon Brando
I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.
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
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
What might be a brave choice for you, for another person they may simply not experience fear.
Marlon Brando
