Just had to add this very "Downie-esque" quote Brando gave to Canadian reporter Murray Campbell in 1989. Campbell recalled it today in the Globe.
"But every time I drove up Coldwater Canyon to Mulholland Drive — where he was reputed to live — I thought of him, his love of gentle ocean breezes and his desire to change the world. "To withdraw, to curse the darkness rather than light one's candle is a useless exercise," he had told me that day. "You simply can't live with that philosophy. You must do something."
