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
Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
Orson Welles
You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles

Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
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'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I have an unfortunate personality.
Orson Welles
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
Orson Welles
