More quotes by Orson Welles
The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.
Orson Welles
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
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
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 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

Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
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
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
Orson Welles
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
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
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Orson Welles
