"I was twelve years old when I saw On the Waterfront, the effect was enormous and it did change my life. What was interesting about his behaviour, I can't even call it acting, behaviour is really what it was. There was something that was so truthful in the nature of the way he moved and what he said, even the way when he was talking to Eva Marie Saint in that long scene, every move he made was true to the situation. It was a kind of emotional truth that I've never seen before."
"Everything that came before On the Waterfront is of a different time and place. And then On the Waterfront is the demarcation line for me with actors and of course with directors too."
On One Eyed Jacks: "I remember seeing the film on its first release in New York in Vistavision. It's one of my favourite films actually and again as the behaviour, it's just with the opening shot where they were robbing the bank when he's sitting on the counter eating a banana, you know, it's the attention to detail."
On Reflections in a Golden Eye: "Particularly his mirror scene, I don't think I've ever seen anybody ever doing anything like that, where he talked to himself in the mirror. Having that in mind, on Taxi Driver, last two days of shooting, there was a scene in which De Niro's trying on his guns so to speak in front of the mirror. But I asked him, kind of having that scene in mind, to see what Bob would do in front of the mirror, what he would say to himself. And so the scene 'Are you talking to me?' came out of that. But that's because I was so shocked by what Brando does at that moment, you know, the total desperation of this man."
