Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Image
Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Image
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
Image
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
Image
Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
Orson Welles
Image
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
Image
A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
