More quotes by 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 there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I hate it when people pray on the screen. It's not because I hate praying, but whenever I see an actor fold his hands and look up in the spotlight, I'm lost. There's only one other thing in the movies I hate as much, and that's sex. You just can't get in bed or pray to God and convince me on the screen.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
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
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
Orson Welles
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
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
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
Orson Welles
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
