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
The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.
Elia Kazan
The essence of the stage is concentration and penetration. Of the screen action, movement, sweep.
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 may be getting old, but not foolish.
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 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
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
Take it from a director: if you get an actor that Sandy Meisner has trained, you've been blessed.
Elia Kazan
I don't remember anything anybody said in any Jack Ford picture. Nothing happens except action.
Elia Kazan
I was not what you'd call a first-class actor, but I did all right.
Elia Kazan
I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.
Elia Kazan
I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.
Elia Kazan
I left the theater I literally left to begin a new life.
Elia Kazan
I was very intense. I think it's a privilege to be an actor.
Elia Kazan
A good director's not sure when he gets on the set what he's going to do.
Elia Kazan
I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.
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 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
