More quotes by Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles
I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
In common with all Protestant or Jewish cultures, America was developed on the idea that your word is your bond. Otherwise, the frontier could never have been opened, 'cause it was lawless. A man's word had to mean something.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
Orson Welles
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
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
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.
Orson Welles
