I would rather do what I did ...

I would rather do what I did than crawl in front of a ritualistic Left and lie the way those other comrades did betray my own soul.

I was an outsider... but I was also sympathetic with people that were struggling to get up, because I struggled to get up.

The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

To be a member of the Communist Party is to have a taste of the police state. It is a diluted taste but is bitter and unforgettable.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

I hate the Communists and have for many years and don't feel right about giving up my career to defend them. I will give up my film career if it is in the interests of defending something I believe in, but not this.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

The first thing you should do...

The first thing you should do with an actor is not sign a contract with him. Take him to dinner. And take him for a walk afterwards.

The real challenge is not simply to survive. Hell, anyone can do that. It’s to survive as yourself, undiminished.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

I've come to believe that everything worth achieving is beyond one's capacity - or seems so at first. The thing is to persist, not back off, fight your fight, pay your dues, and carry on. Effort is all; continue and you may get there despite everything.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

It's difficult, if not impossible, to get away with anything false before the camera. That instrument penetrates the husk of the actor; it reveals what's truly happening - if anything, if nothing. A close-up demands absolute truth. It's a severe and awesome truth

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

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

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.

I won't go back to the theater. I like some of the things they're doing but it's different now, not something I could do. I'll go on making films the rest of my life.

Never underestimate the narcissism of a writer.

Hey, you must be doin' good, 'cause I never hear from you.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

I was both very successful and very left; the living demonstration of how you could be on the left and still be in the gossip columns and be envied for the money you made.
