Blah Quotes

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.

"I`m the worst auditioner, really, really bad. I mean, you`re being judged and I`m just so aware of it that it consumes me. I can`t relax, I`m tied in knots, so the voice is very taut and tense.

Blah, blah, blah,`` in this emotionless voice. It`s foul. I hate it." - EW.com, May 2001

(on being interviewed during Oscar time) "For four weeks straight I didn`t know what I was doing. It was like I had this little tape in my head and I`d sit there and they all would ask the exact same thing and I`d hit play and I`d be like, `Blah blah ... ` in this monotone and they`d be like, `Are you OK, dear?"`

Tell him to come check me out when I`m shredding some sweet finger tapping solos and then he`ll be like, ‘Power chords blah blah blah.’ And I`ll hit the whammy bar and it`ll sound like a plane crashing at an air show and then he`ll try to say some other stuff like, ‘Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.’ And that`s when I fire up the wah-wah pedal and it`ll be like ‘Wokka wokka wokka wo-wokka wokka.’ All up in his freakin` face.
