More quotes by Orson Welles
I'm extremely surprised to learn that a story, which has become familiar to children through the medium of comic strips and many succeeding novels and adventure stories, should have had such an immediate and profound effect upon radio listeners.
Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
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
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
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 don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
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
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
I hate it when people pray on the screen. It's not because I hate praying, but whenever I see an actor fold his hands and look up in the spotlight, I'm lost. There's only one other thing in the movies I hate as much, and that's sex. You just can't get in bed or pray to God and convince me on the screen.
Orson Welles
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
I think I made essential a mistake in staying in movies, because I - but it's a mistake I can't regret, because it's like saying, 'I shouldn't have stayed married to that woman, but I did because I love her.'
Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
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
