More quotes by Orson Welles

Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.

Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
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
