Subliminally, I had always wanted to act. Although I had only performed in a couple of plays, I was serious about it and was subsequently trained by people like Lee Strasberg and Elia Kazan.

Martin Landau

I studied with Strasberg, Elia Kazan. They raised the bar. They weren't easy to please, and they made you achieve the best you could do. That's what a teacher does: he infuses you with passion for something.

Martin Landau

Elia Kazan. He wrote my favorite book about filmmaking, 'Elia Kazan: On Directing.' There is a thing in the book that I do every time, it's part of my production structure. He said when you're hiring an actor, ask them what draws them to the project, and don't lead them to the answer.

Mike Birbiglia

My heroes are guys like Frank Capra and Elia Kazan and Coen brothers and Terry Gilliam, more so than a lot of bass players at this point in my life. So I've always been an old-film nut and have very much enjoyed doing videos over the years.

Les Claypool

For the actor, The Lee Strasberg Notes are an indispensable companion.

Johnny Depp

I have a bit of an obsession with the 1950's and all those actors from Montgomery Clift to James Dean and Anthony Perkins. Just that whole era of Tennessee Williams to Elia Kazan.

Sebastian Stan

My best film composing experience was with Elia Kazan.

Alex North

'A Face in the Crowd' is Elia Kazan's forgotten movie.

Peyton Reed

Elia Kazan understood my problems. He was able to bring out the very best in me. He gave me credit for my intelligence.

Ethel Waters

The fantasy of doing a task perfectly is common with procrastinators; they set the bar for success very high. Then they are afraid to approach it. As the deadline approaches, they must set the bar lower.

John Perry

Warren [Beatty] loves to talk about his experiences with [Elia] Kazan.

Alden Ehrenreich

Elia Kazan - the films he made were such a big deal for me when I was growing up.

Alden Ehrenreich

Being a Williams is not easy in this business because the bar is set very high to achieve success. Daddy set some high standards for all of us.

Hank Williams Jr.

[Warren's Beatty] first film being with this very important director [Elia Kazan], I think we related on that in a big way. And I just was genuinely curious about his experiences in film, and about the people he knew.

Alden Ehrenreich

I studied acting for 10 years before I went for an audition. I studied with Lee Strasberg and Actors Studio teachers, and went to the High School of Performing Arts.

Ellen Barkin

A very high bar has been set with Robert Downey in 'Iron Man.' That idea was, find the best actor for the part, regardless of whether they've been in a movie like this before.

Kevin Feige
