More quotes by Orson Welles
I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I've only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
I don't want any description of me to be accurate I want it to be flattering. I don't think people who have to sing for their supper ever like to be described truthfully - not in print anyway. We need to sell tickets, so we need good reviews.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don't think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
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
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
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles
I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.
Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
There are a thousand ways of playing a good classic. If it were effective, I would play Hamlet on a trapeze.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
