More quotes by Orson Welles
Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
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
In attempting to explain F For Fake's state-side failure, it has occurred to me that perhaps the subject matter was at least partially to blame, and that this country is so blissfully enslaved by the notion of the special sanctity of the expert that an overtly anti-expert film was bound to go too much against the national grain.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
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
Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
Orson Welles
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
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

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

Orson Welles
Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.
Orson Welles
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
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 always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
