More quotes by Elia Kazan
For years after I resigned, I was still faithful to their way of thinking. But not in the American Communists.
Elia Kazan
I was not a collective person or a bohemian I was an elitist.
Elia Kazan
The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.
Elia Kazan
The world was like a huge red carpet out ahead of me to be walked on. And it stretched on and on, no end.
Elia Kazan
I truly believe that all power corrupts. Such is probably the thinking behind every political film ever made in Hollywood.
Elia Kazan
I think there should be collaboration, but under my thumb.
Elia Kazan
I was very intense. I think it's a privilege to be an actor.
Elia Kazan
When you know what an actor has, you can reach in and arouse it. If you don't know what he has, you don't know what the hell is going on.
Elia Kazan
Some directors, like Stevens [George Stevens], shoot full circle, 360 degrees, and that's what's right for them. I generally shoot at about a seven to one ratio. But part of that is because I've worked on every screenplay, so I'm further along in the visual concept.
Elia Kazan
A film director has to get a shot, no matter what he does. We're desperate people.
Elia Kazan
I knew the exuberance of playing before an admiring audience and hearing my secret voice.
Elia Kazan
There was no doubt that there was a vast organization which was making fools of all the liberals in Hollywood and taking their money, that there was a police state among the Left element in Hollywood and Broadway.
Elia Kazan
A good director's not sure when he gets on the set what he's going to do.
Elia Kazan
I was always a self-conscious person.
Elia Kazan
I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.
Elia Kazan
I was born in Turkey in an extremely oppressive climate at the time of pogroms, massacres, really. An immigrant appreciates the freedom more.
Elia Kazan
Criticism- a big bite out of someone's back.
Elia Kazan
The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.
Elia Kazan
I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.
Elia Kazan
I will say nothing to an actor that cannot be translated into action.
Elia Kazan
