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.

More quotes by Orson Welles
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
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
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
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
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
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
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
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
The director is the most overrated artist in the world. He is the only artist who, with no talent whatsoever, can be a success for 50 years without his lack of talent ever being discovered.
Orson Welles
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
