(On the Academy Awards, to Connie Chung after his Best Supporting Actor nomination for A Dry White Season (1989)) "That`s a part of the sickness in America, that you have to think in terms of who wins, who loses, who`s good, who`s bad, who`s best, who`s worst . . . I don`t like to think that way. Everybody has their own value in different ways, and I don`t like to think who`s the best at this. I mean, what`s the point of it?"
- Marlon Brando(On the Academy Awards, Connie Chung TV interview, 1990) "What do I care? I`ve made all the money I need to make. I won a couple of Academy Awards if I ever cared about that. I`ve been nominated I don`t know how many times and I`m in a position of respect and standing in my craft as an actor in this country. So what the hell, I don`t need to gild the lily."
