Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
Image
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
Image
In common with all Protestant or Jewish cultures, America was developed on the idea that your word is your bond. Otherwise, the frontier could never have been opened, 'cause it was lawless. A man's word had to mean something.
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
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles
Image
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.

Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
