More quotes by 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
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
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

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 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.

I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Good evening, ladies and gentleman. My name is Orson Welles. I am an actor. I am a writer. I am a producer. I am a director. I am a magician. I appear onstage and on the radio. Why are there so many of me and so few of you?
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles
I have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson Welles
I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.
Orson Welles
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
I am essentially a hack, a commercial person. If I had a hobby, I would immediately make money on it or abandon it.
Orson Welles
