More quotes by Orson Welles
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
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
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
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
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
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.
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
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
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
Orson Welles
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
Orson Welles
