The Godfather Marlon Brando

It's very simple...you tell the producer your guy gets the part.
If he says 'no way', you stick a horse's head in his friggin bed

He held the profession of acting in contempt. He loathed himself for having to do it.

My high school acting teacher had stacks of old Broadway magazines in her classroom. One day I was flipping through them when I came upon an early interview with Brando when he was doing the Broadway run of "A Streetcar Named Desire"

The one thing from the interview that sticks in my mind four decades later was his statement that his greatest fear was of growing fat.

By the end of his career, Brando was so lazy that he refused to learn his lines for “Superman” and had to read them off cue cards.

Brando was a terrific actor, but a lost and very debauched human being. What his generation of Hollywood stars did in the dark is now celebrated as normal. I hate that the Hollywood elite have such an outsized influence on our culture.

In 1979 1st rate human being Cavett told Virgil Thomson on camera, “Of course you realize that you’re a third rate composer”.

I think Brando was a great actor who turned in some incredible performances, but he always struck me as a pretentious dumbass.
