I've lost many of my best friends... I'm going to satisfy myself now, not the critics, not even my friends.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

I don't remember anything any...

I don't remember anything anybody said in any Jack Ford picture. Nothing happens except action.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

When you know what an actor h...

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 155 quotes

I was both very successful an...

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.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

There was no doubt that there...

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 155 quotes

Hey, you must be doin' good, ...

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

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

Miller didn't write Death of ...

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 155 quotes

There aren't many male stars ...

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 155 quotes

People made suggestions, but, ...

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

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

The only guy who was at all he...

The only guy who was at all helpful as a producer was Sam Spiegel with On the Waterfront. He's one of the few who even knows what he's doing.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

I know many of the critics and...

I know many of the critics and I don't think of them as God-like figures. What can they do to hurt me? Sure, I might be slightly embarrassed for a day, but then you just go your own way.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

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 155 quotes

TV has made us get down to the nub and new films will begin to live up to what the medium can be.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

With kids you can take a chance but casting a guy at 45 is different. You don't discover somebody that age. If an actor hasn't made it by that time he probably has no talent.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

Some directors, like Stevens [...

Some directors, like Stevens [George Stevens], shoot full circle, 360 degrees, and that's what's right for them. I generally shoot at about a seven to one ratio. But part of that is because I've worked on every screenplay, so I'm further along in the visual concept.

I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

I was the hero of the young insurgent working class art movement.

Elia Kazan 155 quotes

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 was born in Turkey in an ext...

I was born in Turkey in an extremely oppressive climate at the time of pogroms, massacres, really. An immigrant appreciates the freedom more.
