More quotes by Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
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
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
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
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
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I have an unfortunate personality.
Orson Welles
If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.
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
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
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
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
In common with all Protestant or Jewish cultures, America was developed on the idea that your word is your bond. Otherwise, the frontier could never have been opened, 'cause it was lawless. A man's word had to mean something.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
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
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
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
