More quotes by Elia Kazan
The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.
Elia Kazan
For years after I resigned, I was still faithful to their way of thinking. But not in the American Communists.
Elia Kazan
A good director's not sure when he gets on the set what he's going to do.
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
I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.
Elia Kazan
I value peace, too, when it is not bought at the price of fundamental decencies.
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 the hero of the young insurgent working class art movement.
Elia Kazan
I was the true future. I understood Communism better than they did.
Elia Kazan
I was very intense. I think it's a privilege to be an actor.
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
Acting, I found, was the biggest charge I ever had. What other artist has it so good? Approval so quick?
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
I was not a collective person or a bohemian I was an elitist.
Elia Kazan
Every fighter has one fight that makes or breaks him.
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
Take it from a director: if you get an actor that Sandy Meisner has trained, you've been blessed.
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
