More quotes by Orson Welles

Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
I seem to have no dress sense at all. I'm always being listed in New York among one of the ten worst dressed men of the year. Someone once described me as looking like an unmade bed. He was right!

Orson Welles
I hate it when people pray on the screen. It's not because I hate praying, but whenever I see an actor fold his hands and look up in the spotlight, I'm lost. There's only one other thing in the movies I hate as much, and that's sex. You just can't get in bed or pray to God and convince me on the screen.
Orson Welles
I'm extremely surprised to learn that a story, which has become familiar to children through the medium of comic strips and many succeeding novels and adventure stories, should have had such an immediate and profound effect upon radio listeners.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
Orson Welles
