Orson Welles
Image
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Image
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Image
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
Image
I hate women, hate them generally, not in particular but in an abstract way. I hate them because one never really learns anything about them. They are inscrutable.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
Image
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
Image
I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.
Orson Welles
Image
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
