More quotes by Orson Welles

Image
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
Image
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
Image
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
Orson Welles
Image
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
Image
Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
Image
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
Image
I don't want any description of me to be accurate I want it to be flattering. I don't think people who have to sing for their supper ever like to be described truthfully - not in print anyway. We need to sell tickets, so we need good reviews.
Orson Welles
Image
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.

A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.

Image
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
Image
Hollywood expects you to experiment but on a film that makes money and if you don't make money, you're to blame. Your job is to make money.
Orson Welles
Image
I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.

A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
