More quotes by Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
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

Orson Welles

As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
Orson Welles
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
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
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
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
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
