More quotes by Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
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

Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.

Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
I hate women, hate them generally, not in particular but in an abstract way. I hate them because one never really learns anything about them. They are inscrutable.
Orson Welles
I passionately hate the idea of being with it I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson Welles
