"[Someone] told me I should sit on my hands [when Kazan got his Academy
Award]. I don't like being told what to do or how to think and will
generally do the opposite. When one woman urged me to sit on my hands, I
told her, "I'll do better than that. I'll have a pen and a pad of paper with
me, and I'll write down the names of everyone I see standing up. I'll give
you that list, and maybe we can keep everyone on it from ever working again"
