More quotes by Orson Welles

Image
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
Image
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
Image
Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Image
One should make movies innocently - the way Adam and Eve named the animals, their first day in the garden. Learn from your own interior vision of things, as if there had never been a D.W.Griffith, or a Eisenstein, or a [John] Ford, or a [Jean] Renoir, or anybody.

I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
Image
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
Image
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
Image
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
Image
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
Image
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
I have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose.
Orson Welles
Image
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
Image
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
Orson Welles
Image
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Image
The word genius was whispered into my ear, the first thing I ever heard, while I was still mewling in my crib. So it never occurred to me that I wasn't until middle age.
