More quotes by Orson Welles
I have an unfortunate personality.
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
Orson Welles
I'm never certain of a performance - my own or the other actors' - or the script or anything... But to me it seems there's only one place in the world the camera can be, and the decision usually comes immediately.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
Orson Welles
The trouble with a movie is that it's old before it's released. It's no accident that it comes in a can.
Orson Welles
Almost all serious stories in the world are stories of failure with a death in it. But there is more lost paradise in them than defeat.
Orson Welles
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
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
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
