More quotes by 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
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
I am essentially a hack, a commercial person. If I had a hobby, I would immediately make money on it or abandon 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
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
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
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
I was spoiled in a very strange way as a child, because everybody told me, from the moment I was able to hear, that I was absolutely marvelous, and I never heard a discouraging word for years, you see. I didn't know what was ahead of me.
Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
Orson Welles
The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.
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
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
