Sparks flying around Adrien Brody as László Tóth with a cigarette in his mouth in The Brutalist.

No one cares.What is left is living on.It’s a big responsibility.

Fighting for a vision and doing so with grace is like music to my ears.

BRODY: Mine, too, by the way!

Ive been doing this a long time.
