More quotes by Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles
Almost all serious stories in the world are stories of failure with a death in it. But there is more lost paradise in them than defeat.
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
I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I've only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.
Orson Welles
As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
Orson Welles
I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don't think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money.
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
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
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
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
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
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
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
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
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 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
