More quotes by Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
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

Orson Welles
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
There are a thousand ways of playing a good classic. If it were effective, I would play Hamlet on a trapeze.
