We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

More quotes by Orson Welles
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
Orson Welles
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
I dont believe in learning from other peoples pictures. I think you should learn from your own interior vision of things and discover, as I say, Innocently, as though there had never been anybody.
Orson Welles
It would be so much better if the critics would come, not on first nights, but on last nights, when they could exercise their undoubted flair for funeral orations.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
The word genius was whispered into my ear, the first thing I ever heard, while I was still mewling in my crib. So it never occurred to me that I wasn't until middle age.
Orson Welles
The trouble with a movie is that it's old before it's released. It's no accident that it comes in a can.
Orson Welles
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Orson Welles
The classy gangster is a Hollywood invention.
Orson Welles
The most personal thing I've put in [Touch of Evil] is my hatred of the abuse of police power. It's better to see a murderer go free than for a policeman to abuse his power.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
I passionately hate the idea of being with it I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
One should make movies innocently - the way Adam and Eve named the animals, their first day in the garden. Learn from your own interior vision of things, as if there had never been a D.W.Griffith, or a Eisenstein, or a [John] Ford, or a [Jean] Renoir, or anybody.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.
Orson Welles
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
