More quotes by Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
I was spoiled in a very strange way as a child, because everybody told me, from the moment I was able to hear, that I was absolutely marvelous, and I never heard a discouraging word for years, you see. I didn't know what was ahead of me.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
Orson Welles
In my real movie-going days, which were the thirties, you didn't stand in line. You strolled down the street and sallied into the theater at any hour of the day or night.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
