Elia Kazan

I spoke without fear of contradiction. I simply did not suffer self-doubt.

I knew the exuberance of playing before an admiring audience and hearing my secret voice.

For years after I resigned, I was still faithful to their way of thinking. But not in the American Communists.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
