    • Marlon Brando: (on imitating life in his acting) ... a perfectly reasonable way to make your living. You're not stealing money, and you're entertaining people.
    • Marlon Brando: There comes a time in one's life when you don't want to do it [act] anymore. You know a scene is coming where you'll have to cry and scream and all those things, and it's always bothering you, always eating away at you . . . and you just can't walk through it ... it would be disrespectful not to try to do your best.
    • Marlon Brando: If given the choice between Kenneth Branagh's production of Henry V (1989) or Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Terminator (1984), there's hardly a question of where most television dials would be turned. If the expenditure of money for entertainment in America is any indication of taste, clearly the majority of us are addicted to trash.
