More quotes by Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
It would be so much better if the critics would come, not on first nights, but on last nights, when they could exercise their undoubted flair for funeral orations.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
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
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
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
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
