I said to Tennessee, this thing is becoming the Marlon Brando show.

I would rather do what I did than crawl in front of a ritualistic Left and lie the way those other comrades did betray my own soul.

The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.

I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.

There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.

I've come to believe that everything worth achieving is beyond one's capacity - or seems so at first. The thing is to persist, not back off, fight your fight, pay your dues, and carry on. Effort is all; continue and you may get there despite everything.

You have to remind people of their own struggles. It's a responsibility.
