I think I made essential a mistake in staying in movies, because I - but it's a mistake I can't regret, because it's like saying, 'I shouldn't have stayed married to that woman, but I did because I love her.'
Orson Welles

More quotes by Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
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
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
I'm extremely surprised to learn that a story, which has become familiar to children through the medium of comic strips and many succeeding novels and adventure stories, should have had such an immediate and profound effect upon radio listeners.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
In attempting to explain F For Fake's state-side failure, it has occurred to me that perhaps the subject matter was at least partially to blame, and that this country is so blissfully enslaved by the notion of the special sanctity of the expert that an overtly anti-expert film was bound to go too much against the national grain.
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
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
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 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
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
There are a thousand ways of playing a good classic. If it were effective, I would play Hamlet on a trapeze.
Orson Welles
