Marlon Brando:
People don't realize that a press item, a news item, is money. And that news is hawked in the same way that shoes are or toothpaste or lipstick or hair tonic or anything else. And if you put something in the paper about Elizabeth Taylor or Richard Burton, everybody's going to buy it. You know, everybody wants to know about that. So, it becomes an item and it becomes a sellable item. It's the merchandising aspect of the press is not really fully recognized by the public. And when you don't cooperate with those merchandising systems, people who sell news, like Hedda Hawker - that's a good mistake - Hedda Hawker...
[laughs]
Marlon Brando:
... You know, it's sort of an unwritten code if that you don't cooperate with those people and tell them about the intimacies of your personal life, then, you've broken the rule and you have to be publicly chastised for it - or chubicly plastized for it, if you like - and - that's the way of the world out there. But, I've found, by and large, that people make up their own minds.
