More quotes by Marlon Brando
What might be a brave choice for you, for another person they may simply not experience fear.
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
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
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 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
I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money.
Marlon Brando
All I want to be is normally insane.
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
Hey, you wanna hear my philosophy of life? Do it to him before he does it to you.
Marlon Brando
In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.
Marlon Brando
If you want something from an audience, you give blood to their fantasies. It's the ultimate hustle.
Marlon Brando
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.
Marlon Brando
It's the hardest thing in the world to accept a 'little' success and leave it that way.
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
If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.
Marlon Brando
I have decided to tell the story of my life as best I can, so that my children can separate the truth from the myths that others have created about me, as myths are created about everyone swept up in the turbulent and distorting maelstrom of celebrity in our culture.
Marlon Brando
The principal benefit acting has afforded me is the money to pay for my psychoanalysis.
Marlon Brando
I only mean forty per cent of what I say.
Marlon Brando
(...the non-conformist, how do you keep from getting scarred?)/i don’t! i got a scar here…and uh i got a scar on my knee…and uh a few scars on my soul.
