More quotes by Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
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
The classy gangster is a Hollywood invention.
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
Good evening, ladies and gentleman. My name is Orson Welles. I am an actor. I am a writer. I am a producer. I am a director. I am a magician. I appear onstage and on the radio. Why are there so many of me and so few of you?
Orson Welles
I passionately hate the idea of being with it I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
Orson Welles
The director is simply the audience. His job is to preside over accidents.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
Orson Welles
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
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
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
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
The director is the most overrated artist in the world. He is the only artist who, with no talent whatsoever, can be a success for 50 years without his lack of talent ever being discovered.
Orson Welles
You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
Orson Welles
