More quotes by Orson Welles

Orson Welles
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
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
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.

Orson Welles
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
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
The essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing Hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it.
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 director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
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
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
The classy gangster is a Hollywood invention.
Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
