Marlon Brando: Frasi in inglese
New York Times (July 2, 2004)
Contesto: When I lie on the beach there naked, which I do sometimes, and I feel the wind coming over me and I see the stars up above and I am looking into this very deep, indescribable night, it is something that escapes my vocabulary to describe. Then I think: 'God, I have no importance. Whatever I do or don't do, or what anybody does, is not more important than the grains of sand that I am lying on, or the coconut that I am using for my pillow.' So I really don't think in the long sense.
“Privacy is not something that I’m merely entitled to, it’s an absolute prerequisite.”
Said in 1960, quoted in Marlon Brando, Ch. 11 (1974, rev. 1989), by David Shipman.
“Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life.”
Marlon Brando: The Only Contender, Gary Carey (1985), Ch.13

Contesto: I have always considered my life a private affair and the business of no one beyond my family and those I love. Except for moral and political issues that aroused in me a desire to speak out, I have done my utmost throughout my life, for the sake of my children and myself, to remain silent … But now, in my seventieth year, I have decided to tell the story of my life as best I can, so that my children can separate the truth from the myths that others have created about me, as myths are created about everyone swept up in the turbulent and distorting maelstrom of celebrity in our culture.
