More quotes by Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
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
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
You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
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
I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don't think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
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
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
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
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
