More quotes by 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
Sometimes you just get the feeling that here it is 11o'clock in the morning and you're not in school.
Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando
It is a simple fact that all of us use the techniques of acting to achieve whatever ends we seek.
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
What might be a brave choice for you, for another person they may simply not experience fear.
Marlon Brando
Hey, you wanna hear my philosophy of life? Do it to him before he does it to you.
Marlon Brando
The close-up says everything.
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
We only have so many faces in our pockets
