Description
"The first thing that you should do when you win an Oscar is thank God. The second thing you should do is forget it."
"You get the Oscar and you get better scripts, better actors and better directors to work for and of course your salary goes up until you make your first mistake and then you have to start from the beginning again."
"When old actors come up to me and say, 'I don't know if I should do this role. It might be bad for my image,' I say, 'That's tough that you only have one image. My heart bleeds for you!' We are supposed to create raw people, explore life and communicate at the highest level; be it pain, joy or what have you. That's what I believe. I guess you could say it does become a philosophy, a way of life." - Rod Steiger, 1925-2002
A movie that I was in, called On the Waterfront (1954): "there was a scene in a taxicab, where I turn to my brother, who's come to turn me over to the gangsters, and I lament to him that he never looked after me, he never gave me a chance, that I could have been a contender, I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum ... 'You should of looked out after me, Charley.' It was very moving. And people often spoke about that, 'Oh, my God, what a wonderful scene, Marlon, blah blah blah blah blah.' It wasn't wonderful at all. The situation was wonderful. Everybody feels like he could have been a contender, he could have been somebody, everybody feels as though he's partly bum, some part of him. He is not fulfilled and he could have done better, he could have been better. Everybody feels a sense of loss about something. So that was what touched people. It wasn't the scene itself. There are other scenes where you'll find actors being expert, but since the audience can't clearly identify with them, they just pass unnoticed. Wonderful scenes never get mentioned, only those scenes that affect people." - Marlon Brando, 1924-2004
