More quotes by Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
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
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
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
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
Only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Orson Welles
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
The most personal thing I've put in [Touch of Evil] is my hatred of the abuse of police power. It's better to see a murderer go free than for a policeman to abuse his power.
Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
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
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
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
