"Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose." ― Elia Kazan Topic(s): Poetry More From Elia Kazan "There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors… and that is their competitive sense." "Our relationship was cursed by the fact that we agreed on everything." "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." More In Poetry "I realized poetry’s the thing that I can do ’cause I can stick at it and work with tremendous intensity."― Philip Levine "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."― Robert Frost "I was always interested in French poetry sort of as a sideline to my own work, I was translating contemporary French poets. That kind of spilled out into translation as a way to earn money, pay for food and put bread on the table."― Paul Auster
