Everytime the summer aproaches I always think of these scenes from Do The Right Thing.
Cooling off.

[Favorite] Quotes by Marlon Brando, from 1979 Playboy interview:
-“I just don’t believe in washing my dirty underwear for all to see, and I’m not interested in the confessions of movie stars.”
-“What people are willing to do in front of a public is puzzling. I don’t understand why they do it. I guess it makes them feel a little less lonely.”
-“Everybody is an actor; you spend your whole day acting. Everybody has suffered through moments where you’re thinking one thing and feeling one thing and not showing it. That’s acting.”
-“In your heart of hearts, you know perfectly well that movie stars aren’t artists.”
-“I don’t think any movie is a work of art.”
-“I hate rock’n’roll. It’s ugly. I liked it better when the blacks had it in 1927.”
-“There are people who aspire to being artists, but I don’t think they’re worthy of the calling.”
-“There are no artists. We are businessmen. We’re merchants.”
-“I’m fascinated with everything. I’ll talk for seven hours about splinters.”
-“I think, essentially, men fear women. It comes from a sense of dependence on women. Because men are brought up by women, they’re dependent on them.”
-“Guilt’s a useless emotion; it doesn’t do anybody any good. A healthy sense of conscience is useful.”
-“Friends don’t write books, acquaintances do.”
-“I used to read an awful lot. Then I found that I had a lot of information and very little knowledge.”
-“I beat the Army by being declared psycho-neurotic. They thought I was crazy. When I filled in their forms, under ‘Race’, I wrote , ‘Human’; under ‘Color’, I wrote, ‘It varies’. Also, I got thrown out of military school, which helped.”
-“I think I would have liked to be a cave man, a neolithic person. It would have been nice to see what the common denominator of human existence was before it started to be fiddled with.”
