Marlon Brando on acting

Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.

The more sensitive you are, the more likely you are to be brutalized, develop scabs and never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything because you always feel too much.

If there’s anything unsettling to the stomach, it’s watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.

The secret of acting is sincerity. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.

George Burns1896–1996

The art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing.

Ralph Richardson1902–1983Often credited to Benjamin Franklin

I love acting. It is so much more real than life.
