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.

I was even superior to the Communists and when they didn't go along with me, I quit them.

Interviews are fun, but I get nervous at red carpets.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.
