Marlon Brando

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

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

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.

I'm very detail oriented. Everything that takes a lot of dedication and creativity I do in the morning when there is light and I'm really concentrated.

Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
