I loved Marlon Brando: my favorite actor.

I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.

My biggest influences as an actor were Marlon Brando, and I really dug James Dean.

When I grew into a teenager, I became obsessed with Marlon Brando, Montgomery Cliff, and James Dean.

I love Marlon Brando. Never seem him bad, just less good.

I mean, the actors that I admired were Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, an actress named Barbara Harris. And Greta Garbo. They were great actors.

Most actors are like, 'I want to be more like Marlon Brando.' But when I was a little kid, I just wanted to be an action hero! Then I grew up, and my interests were different.

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

Marlon Brando. The finest actor who ever lived. He was my idol when I was 13. He's done enough work to last two lifetimes. Everything I do, I think: Can Brando play this with me?

It was also wonderful to have the prospect of playing with Jack Nicholson. It was a terrific part, a terrific script, with Alexander Payne and Jack Nicholson. You can't get any better than that!
