More quotes by Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
I seem to have no dress sense at all. I'm always being listed in New York among one of the ten worst dressed men of the year. Someone once described me as looking like an unmade bed. He was right!
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
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
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
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
A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves.
Orson Welles
The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.
Orson Welles
I'm never certain of a performance - my own or the other actors' - or the script or anything... But to me it seems there's only one place in the world the camera can be, and the decision usually comes immediately.
Orson Welles
In attempting to explain F For Fake's state-side failure, it has occurred to me that perhaps the subject matter was at least partially to blame, and that this country is so blissfully enslaved by the notion of the special sanctity of the expert that an overtly anti-expert film was bound to go too much against the national grain.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
