More quotes by Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
The trouble with a movie is that it's old before it's released. It's no accident that it comes in a can.
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
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
I was spoiled in a very strange way as a child, because everybody told me, from the moment I was able to hear, that I was absolutely marvelous, and I never heard a discouraging word for years, you see. I didn't know what was ahead of me.
Orson Welles
I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
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.
Orson Welles
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
Orson Welles
