More quotes by Orson Welles
The most personal thing I've put in [Touch of Evil] is my hatred of the abuse of police power. It's better to see a murderer go free than for a policeman to abuse his power.
Orson Welles
The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
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
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
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
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 have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose.
Orson Welles
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
Orson Welles
I hate women, hate them generally, not in particular but in an abstract way. I hate them because one never really learns anything about them. They are inscrutable.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
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
