“The only reason I’m here is that I don’t yet have the moral courage to turn down the money.”


“A sensitive person receives fifty impressions where somebody else may only get seven. Sensitive people are so vulnerable; they’re so easily brutalized and hurt just because they are sensitive. The more sensitive you are, the more certain you are to be brutalized, develop scabs. Never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything, because you always feel too much."

Marlon Brando in a profile of him done by Truman Capote for The New Yorker magazine in 1957 titled,
The Duke in his Domain.

I never knew until now that Marlon Brando had a sense of humor.

This is one of the best interviews I've ever read. Would love to have heard them speak to each other.

I'll take a look. Out of context, the stuff about brutalization and scabs and never evolving looks odd. Compelling but odd. Or else odd but compelling.
