More quotes by Orson Welles

Image
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
Image
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
Image
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
Image
I hate it when people pray on the screen. It's not because I hate praying, but whenever I see an actor fold his hands and look up in the spotlight, I'm lost. There's only one other thing in the movies I hate as much, and that's sex. You just can't get in bed or pray to God and convince me on the screen.
Orson Welles
Image
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
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.
Orson Welles
Image
I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
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
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
Image
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
Orson Welles
Image
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
Orson Welles
Image
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
Image
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
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
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
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
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 love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
