Orson Welles
Image
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
Image
I was spoiled in a very strange way as a child, because everybody told me, from the moment I was able to hear, that I was absolutely marvelous, and I never heard a discouraging word for years, you see. I didn't know what was ahead of me.
Orson Welles
Image
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
Image
I'm never certain of a performance - my own or the other actors' - or the script or anything... But to me it seems there's only one place in the world the camera can be, and the decision usually comes immediately.

Orson Welles
Image
A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves.
Orson Welles
Image
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don't think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money.
Orson Welles
Image
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
Image
Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
Orson Welles
Image
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
Image
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Orson Welles
Image
I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.
