Image
Almost all serious stories in the world are stories of failure with a death in it. But there is more lost paradise in them than defeat.
Orson Welles
Image
I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers - because males have got to try and justify their existence.
Orson Welles
Image
I must be sincere towards what I am. ... Experimenting is the only thing that fills me with enthusiasm. ... It is the only sphere where I feel really honest and sincere.
Orson Welles
Image
I have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose.

A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
Image
I'm never certain of a performance - my own or the other actors' - or the script or anything... But to me it seems there's only one place in the world the camera can be, and the decision usually comes immediately.
Orson Welles
Image
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
Image
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
Image
Hollywood expects you to experiment but on a film that makes money and if you don't make money, you're to blame. Your job is to make money.
Orson Welles
Image
I have an unfortunate personality.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
The trouble with a movie is that it's old before it's released. It's no accident that it comes in a can.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Orson Welles
Image
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
