More quotes by Orson Welles

Image
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles
Image
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
Image
Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem.
Orson Welles
Image
Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
Image
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
Image
One should make movies innocently - the way Adam and Eve named the animals, their first day in the garden. Learn from your own interior vision of things, as if there had never been a D.W.Griffith, or a Eisenstein, or a [John] Ford, or a [Jean] Renoir, or anybody.
Orson Welles
Image
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
There are a thousand ways of playing a good classic. If it were effective, I would play Hamlet on a trapeze.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
Image
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
Orson Welles
Image
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
Image
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
Image
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
Image
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
Image
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
