The critic can be, and on occasion he has been, a creative factor in an art. Just speaking for myself, I have taken some pretty good poundings from members of your fraternity, and I have been angry. But even anger is a stimulant. It energizes, it does not debilitate. And in time I have faced around from the harsh words and taken a harder, closer look at myself and what Id been doing. -Elia Kazan, in a letter to the critic William K. Zinsser, excerpted from the new book THE SELECTED LETTERS OF ELIA KAZAN, which well review in the July/August issue of American Theatre magazine
