More quotes by 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

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
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 think there should be collaboration, but under my thumb.
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

Elia Kazan
People made suggestions, but, hell, I don't actually listen to anybody, I just go my own way.
Elia Kazan

Elia Kazan
Criticism- a big bite out of someone's back.
Elia Kazan
I left the theater I literally left to begin a new life.
Elia Kazan
I was always a self-conscious person.
Elia Kazan
I may be getting old, but not foolish.
Elia Kazan
The thing with films is that you have to make something that will get people out of their houses, away from the TV set. You must touch people, say something. Otherwise, they'll stay at home.
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
