More quotes by Orson Welles
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Orson Welles
There are a thousand ways of playing a good classic. If it were effective, I would play Hamlet on a trapeze.
Orson Welles
I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers - because males have got to try and justify their existence.
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
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
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
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I've only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.
Orson Welles
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
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
Criticism is the essence of creation.
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
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
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
