Kazan on Montgomery Clift

I'd always thought Kazan was a big fan of Brando, Dean and Clift.  But it seems he only liked the first two.  Here's the quote:

Question:  Why did you cast Montgomery Clift in Wild River? 

Kazan: He wasn't my choice. I wish I could have cast someone more masculine, someone stronger would have been better.  I would have preferred Brando, but then I always prefer Brando.  He was unavailable, so I kept postponing the picture and postponing it, trying to find somebody.  I liked Clift personally, but he was in very bad shape...He was banged up. His face was almost a different face. He was also very shaky, and on liquor and drugs, just quivering with doubt.  It was a tough, tough, thing to deal with.  He was also unmasculine, which hurt the love story. I think I could've done better, but I don't know with whom.  I still don't know.
