More quotes by Elia Kazan
Very often the Group actor is a critic when he's acting and an actor when he's criticizing.
Elia Kazan
I was the true future. I understood Communism better than they did.
Elia Kazan
I was an outsider... but I was also sympathetic with people that were struggling to get up, because I struggled to get up.
Elia Kazan
Criticism- a big bite out of someone's back.
Elia Kazan
Take it from a director: if you get an actor that Sandy Meisner has trained, you've been blessed.
Elia Kazan
I truly believe that all power corrupts. Such is probably the thinking behind every political film ever made in Hollywood.
Elia Kazan
To be a member of the Communist Party is to have a taste of the police state. It is a diluted taste but it is bitter and unforgettable.
Elia Kazan
For years after I resigned, I was still faithful to their way of thinking. But not in the American Communists.
Elia Kazan
Every fighter has one fight that makes or breaks him.
Elia Kazan
Acting, I found, was the biggest charge I ever had. What other artist has it so good? Approval so quick?
Elia Kazan
I may be getting old, but not foolish.
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
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 was not a collective person or a bohemian I was an elitist.
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
The essence of the stage is concentration and penetration. Of the screen action, movement, sweep.
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
I was not what you'd call a first-class actor, but I did all right.
Elia Kazan
I left the theater I literally left to begin a new life.
Elia Kazan
