More quotes by Orson Welles
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
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
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
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

Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
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
