If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.

More quotes by Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I'm never certain of a performance - my own or the other actors' - or the script or anything... But to me it seems there's only one place in the world the camera can be, and the decision usually comes immediately.
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.
Orson Welles
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
I don't want any description of me to be accurate I want it to be flattering. I don't think people who have to sing for their supper ever like to be described truthfully - not in print anyway. We need to sell tickets, so we need good reviews.
Orson Welles
It would be so much better if the critics would come, not on first nights, but on last nights, when they could exercise their undoubted flair for funeral orations.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
Orson Welles
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.
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
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
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
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
