More quotes by Elia Kazan
I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.
Elia Kazan
You have to remind people of their own struggles. It's a responsibility.
Elia Kazan
I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.
Elia Kazan
A film director has to get a shot, no matter what he does. We're desperate people.
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
I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.
Elia Kazan
Miller didn't write Death of a Salesman. He released it. It was there inside him, waiting to be turned loose. That's the measure of its merit.
Elia Kazan
I knew the exuberance of playing before an admiring audience and hearing my secret voice.
Elia Kazan
I think there should be collaboration, but under my thumb.
Elia Kazan
For years after I resigned, I was still faithful to their way of thinking. But not in the American Communists.
Elia Kazan
The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.
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
I said to Tennessee, this thing is becoming the Marlon Brando show.
Elia Kazan
There aren't many male stars - that's a loose term - like Kirk [Douglas] around. Most of those virile personalities have to keep working, continue the image because they can't do anything else. They don't even read. Their real identity is in making those pictures. They have to keep jumping on horses and hitting somebody on the head with a gun.
Elia Kazan
I will say nothing to an actor that cannot be translated into action.
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 value peace, too, when it is not bought at the price of fundamental decencies.
Elia Kazan
I may be getting old, but not foolish.
Elia Kazan
Take it from a director: if you get an actor that Sandy Meisner has trained, you've been blessed.
Elia Kazan
I was not what you'd call a first-class actor, but I did all right.
Elia Kazan
