More quotes by Orson Welles
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
The classy gangster is a Hollywood invention.
Orson Welles
I seem to have no dress sense at all. I'm always being listed in New York among one of the ten worst dressed men of the year. Someone once described me as looking like an unmade bed. He was right!
Orson Welles
Hollywood expects you to experiment but on a film that makes money and if you don't make money, you're to blame. Your job is to make money.
Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.
Orson Welles
You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
Orson Welles
Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else.
Orson Welles
I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers - because males have got to try and justify their existence.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
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
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
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
