More quotes by 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
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
Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
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
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
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
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
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
