Orson Welles
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
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
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]

Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
The classy gangster is a Hollywood invention.
Orson Welles
As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
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.
