"I don't think acting is a very noble profession. It's just a way to make a living."
"I'm not a difficult person. I'm just an individual."
"I don't think I'm a particularly good actor, I'm a character actor."
"Food has always been my friend. When I wanted to feel better or had a crisis in my life, I opened the icebox."
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'.
