More from Marlon Brando
"I don't want to be a symbol. I want to be a man."
"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."
"I never wanted to be a movie star. I wanted to be a good actor."
"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor and surviving."
"I'm not a very happy person. I'm not a very good person. I'm not a very nice person."
About Marlon Brando (1924-2004)
American actor whose A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and On the Waterfront (1954) defined Method acting and reshaped 20th-century film performance. Closely associated with James Dean (Method-acting peer and protégé) and Montgomery Clift (Method contemporary and friend). For an intellectual contrast, see Laurence Olivier, British classical-trained actor — Olivier's technical, externally-constructed approach to acting is the precise opposite of the Method's emotional-recall internalism — the canonical 'Method vs classical' binary 20th-century acting pedagogy is organized around. Olivier reportedly told a frustrated Hoffman: 'Try acting, my dear boy'.
