Quote

I dont believe in learning from other peoples pictures. I think you should learn from your own interior vision of things and discover, as I say, Innocently, as though there had never been anybody.

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
Image
Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.
Orson Welles
Image
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.

My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
Image
I hate it when people pray on the screen. It's not because I hate praying, but whenever I see an actor fold his hands and look up in the spotlight, I'm lost. There's only one other thing in the movies I hate as much, and that's sex. You just can't get in bed or pray to God and convince me on the screen.

I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
Image
I hate women, hate them generally, not in particular but in an abstract way. I hate them because one never really learns anything about them. They are inscrutable.
Orson Welles
Image
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles

It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles

Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
Image
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
Image
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
Image
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
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
Image
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.

I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
