More quotes by Orson Welles
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
Orson Welles
I am essentially a hack, a commercial person. If I had a hobby, I would immediately make money on it or abandon it.
Orson Welles
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at 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 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 hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
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
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 laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
Orson Welles
I don't want any description of me to be accurate I want it to be flattering. I don't think people who have to sing for their supper ever like to be described truthfully - not in print anyway. We need to sell tickets, so we need good reviews.
Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
