Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.

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

Orson Welles

I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
Orson Welles
The word genius was whispered into my ear, the first thing I ever heard, while I was still mewling in my crib. So it never occurred to me that I wasn't until middle age.
Orson Welles
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.

Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
