More quotes by Orson Welles
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
Almost all serious stories in the world are stories of failure with a death in it. But there is more lost paradise in them than defeat.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
My mother and father were both much more remarkable than any story of mine can make them. They seem to me just mythically wonderful.
Orson Welles
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
If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.
Orson Welles
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
Orson Welles
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
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
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
The trouble with a movie is that it's old before it's released. It's no accident that it comes in a can.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
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
The most personal thing I've put in [Touch of Evil] is my hatred of the abuse of police power. It's better to see a murderer go free than for a policeman to abuse his power.
Orson Welles
Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
Orson Welles
