More quotes by Orson Welles
Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem.
Orson Welles
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
Orson Welles
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
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
In my real movie-going days, which were the thirties, you didn't stand in line. You strolled down the street and sallied into the theater at any hour of the day or night.
Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers - because males have got to try and justify their existence.
Orson Welles
Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up.
Orson Welles
I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don't think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money.
Orson Welles
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
I passionately hate the idea of being with it I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
Personally, I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband. If she'll fool her husband, I figure she'll fool me.
Orson Welles
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
