More quotes by Orson Welles
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
Personally, I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband. If she'll fool her husband, I figure she'll fool me.
Orson Welles
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
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
Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
The word genius was whispered into my ear, the first thing I ever heard, while I was still mewling in my crib. So it never occurred to me that I wasn't until middle age.
Orson Welles
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
Hollywood expects you to experiment but on a film that makes money and if you don't make money, you're to blame. Your job is to make money.
Orson Welles
The director is the most overrated artist in the world. He is the only artist who, with no talent whatsoever, can be a success for 50 years without his lack of talent ever being discovered.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
