Gluttony is not a secret vice.

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
Image
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Image
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
Image
If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.
Orson Welles
Image
I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
Orson Welles
Image
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
Image
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
Image
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
