More quotes by Orson Welles
I have an unfortunate personality.
Orson Welles
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
Orson Welles
Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.
Orson Welles
The most personal thing I've put in [Touch of Evil] is my hatred of the abuse of police power. It's better to see a murderer go free than for a policeman to abuse his power.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I've only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
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
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
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
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
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
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
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
Orson Welles
