Listen to Me Marlon Page #2
that doesn't have the past.
We develop the technique
of acting very, very early.
Even from the time we're a kid,
where we're throwing our oatmeal
on the floor
just to get attention from our mothers.
Acting is surviving.
Yeah, that's my mother.
That photograph there.
This is a portrait of my mom
when she was about forty.
And she was a marvellous person.
For instance, she dressed up a pet goose
we had for Santa Claus.
She made a Santa Claus out of it,
made a little red costume for it
and a beard and everything.
She was a very inventive
and artistic woman.
And I miss her very much.
I was given by my mother
a sense of the absurd.
She had false teeth.
Once in a while she'd laugh.
While she was laughing,
her teeth would come off her gums.
And the more I laughed,
the more she thought it was funny
and we both ended up laughing real hard.
My mother taught me a love for nature,
and a sense of closeness with animals.
You couldn't think of a tune
she couldn't play on the piano.
Not one.
I like remembering about her.
I used to love the smell of liquor
on her breath.
And her breath becomes very, very sweet.
It's a lovely fragrance.
My mother was an alcoholic.
and my mother was the town drunk.
She began to dissolve
and fray at the ends.
When my mother was missing.
Gone off someplace,
we didn't know where she was.
I used to have to go
and get her out of jail.
Memories even now
that fill me with shame and anger.
You have to constantly act.
It is not important
to defend your faults in the theater.
It's important to overcome them.
into her home.
I then became part of her family.
When I was really suffering
and disjointed, disoriented with life,
she was always very loving towards me.
I'd never done anything in life
that anybody ever said I was good at.
She put her hand on my shoulders
and said, "Don't worry, my boy."
"I have seen you,
and the world is going to hear from you."
From the T-shirt clad Stanley Kowalski
the role which catapulted him
to international fame,
we're very pleased
to have with us this morning
as our guest Mr Marlon Brando.
Streetcar Named Desire
was very satisfying to be in,
because I thought
it was a wonderful play.
The story was superb
and the production was wonderful.
You must be Stanley.
Oh, hiya. Where's the little woman?
It was a very explosive part
and it electrified everybody.
You want a shot?
Well, some people, they rarely touch it,
but it touches them often.
I was quite nutty
when I was young
and I would have a lot of energy.
Rain forever.
