Marlon Brando Biography

On himself:

“There’s a line in the picture where he snarls, “Nobody tells me what to do.” That’s exactly how I’ve felt my whole life.”

“I have eyes like those of a dead pig.”

“I don’t mind that I’m fat. You still get the same money.”

“The only reason that I’m in Hollywood is that I don’t have the moral courage to refuse the money.”

“Privacy is not something that I’m merely entitled to, it’s an absolute necessity.”

On acting:

“An actor is at most a poet, and at least, an entertainer.”

“An actor’s a guy who, if you ain’t talking about him, ain’t listening.”

“Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It’s a bum’s life. Quitting acting, that’s the sign of maturity.”

“To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.”

“The only thing an actor owes his public is not to bore them.”
