More from Marlon Brando
"We couldn't survive a second if we weren't able to act. Acting is a survival mechanism, and it's a social lubricant. And we act to save our lives, actually, every day. People lie constantly every day …"
"I think that the most important thing in life is to be true to yourself."
"I was never a sex symbol. I was just a guy who got lucky."
"I don't like to be constrained. I think it's stifling."
"Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life."
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'.
