More quotes by Orson Welles
If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.
Orson Welles
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
The word genius was whispered into my ear, the first thing I ever heard, while I was still mewling in my crib. So it never occurred to me that I wasn't until middle age.
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
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
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
There are a thousand ways of playing a good classic. If it were effective, I would play Hamlet on a trapeze.
Orson Welles
My mother and father were both much more remarkable than any story of mine can make them. They seem to me just mythically wonderful.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
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
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
It would be so much better if the critics would come, not on first nights, but on last nights, when they could exercise their undoubted flair for funeral orations.
Orson Welles
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
