More quotes by Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
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 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
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
I must be sincere towards what I am. ... Experimenting is the only thing that fills me with enthusiasm. ... It is the only sphere where I feel really honest and sincere.
Orson Welles
One should make movies innocently - the way Adam and Eve named the animals, their first day in the garden. Learn from your own interior vision of things, as if there had never been a D.W.Griffith, or a Eisenstein, or a [John] Ford, or a [Jean] Renoir, or anybody.
Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
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
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
