More quotes by Orson Welles
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
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
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
The word genius was whispered into my ear, the first thing I ever heard, while I was still mewling in my crib. So it never occurred to me that I wasn't until middle age.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
In my real movie-going days, which were the thirties, you didn't stand in line. You strolled down the street and sallied into the theater at any hour of the day or night.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
Orson Welles
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
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
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
Orson Welles
Good evening, ladies and gentleman. My name is Orson Welles. I am an actor. I am a writer. I am a producer. I am a director. I am a magician. I appear onstage and on the radio. Why are there so many of me and so few of you?
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
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
I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
Orson Welles
