More quotes by Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.

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
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
I passionately hate the idea of being with it I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
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
