More from Marlon Brando
"I think that the most important thing in life is to be passionate."
"Acting is just a way of making a living. The actor's a fool if he believes he's anything more than a glorified whore."
"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul."
"I don't like to be famous. I think it's a burden."
"I'm going to be a plumber. I don't want to be an actor. I don't want to be a movie star. I don't want to be anything. I just want to be myself."
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'.
