More quotes by Orson Welles
If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.
Orson Welles

My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles
I think I made essential a mistake in staying in movies, because I - but it's a mistake I can't regret, because it's like saying, 'I shouldn't have stayed married to that woman, but I did because I love her.'
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.

Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
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
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson Welles
Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
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
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
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
Orson Welles
