More quotes by Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
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
The director is the most overrated artist in the world. He is the only artist who, with no talent whatsoever, can be a success for 50 years without his lack of talent ever being discovered.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
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 have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
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
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
I dont believe in learning from other peoples pictures. I think you should learn from your own interior vision of things and discover, as I say, Innocently, as though there had never been anybody.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
My mother and father were both much more remarkable than any story of mine can make them. They seem to me just mythically wonderful.
Orson Welles
