I said to Tennessee, this thing is becoming the Marlon Brando show.
I said to Tennessee, this thing is becoming the Marlon Brando show.
Working with Brando was fun. It was like a tennis match. We played unbelievably well together.
It was just the thrill of a lifetime. Brando and Hackman were two of my heroes.
The thing about Brando was that I'd make these directions, and he'd walk away. He'd heard enough... to get the machine going.
I had life threats, because people accused me of approaching Brando as God and his son was Jesus. I literally had people saying my blood would run in the streets for doing that.
Marlon Brando said any guy can become an actor. It takes a real man to quit.
It was sort of his 'Brando' moment - his very 'method' moment. He just absorbed it and continued on.
Anyone of my generation who tells you he hasn't 'done Brando' is lying.
I'm not Jack Nicholson. I'm not Brando. But I do mumble.
I love Marlon Brando. Never seem him bad, just less good.
I figure there are a few actors like Marlon Brando, George C. Scott and Laurence Olivier who have been touched by the hand of God. I'm in the next bunch.

The most realistic blood I've seen is when Marlon Brando gets beat up in On The Waterfront.
Acting is all about big hair and funny props... All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it, Brando knew it.
Marlon Brando. The finest actor who ever lived. He was my idol when I was 13. He's done enough work to last two lifetimes. Everything I do, I think: Can Brando play this with me?
I would have to say honestly I was very pleased to be in a film whether it was good or bad with De Niro, Norton and Brando even if I don't have any scenes with them, I thought it was pretty good company to keep.
