I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
Image
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles

I dont believe in learning from other peoples pictures. I think you should learn from your own interior vision of things and discover, as I say, Innocently, as though there had never been anybody.
Orson Welles
Image
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
Image

Orson Welles
Image
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
Image
I passionately hate the idea of being with it I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
Image
In common with all Protestant or Jewish cultures, America was developed on the idea that your word is your bond. Otherwise, the frontier could never have been opened, 'cause it was lawless. A man's word had to mean something.
Orson Welles
Image
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
Image
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
Image
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
Image
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
Image
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
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
I have an unfortunate personality.
Orson Welles
