More quotes by 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
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.
Orson Welles
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
Orson Welles
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
I hate women, hate them generally, not in particular but in an abstract way. I hate them because one never really learns anything about them. They are inscrutable.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
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.
Orson Welles
The essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing Hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
