More quotes by Orson Welles
I have an unfortunate personality.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles

Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson Welles
I hate women, hate them generally, not in particular but in an abstract way. I hate them because one never really learns anything about them. They are inscrutable.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]

Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles

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
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
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
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
