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.

Anyone of my generation who tells you he hasn't 'done Brando' is lying.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

I get a kick out of watching a team defense me. A player moves two steps in one direction and I hit it two steps the other way. It goes right by his glove and I laugh.
