More quotes by Orson Welles
I think I made essential a mistake in staying in movies, because I - but it's a mistake I can't regret, because it's like saying, 'I shouldn't have stayed married to that woman, but I did because I love her.'
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
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
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
A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves.
Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
Orson Welles
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
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
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
In my real movie-going days, which were the thirties, you didn't stand in line. You strolled down the street and sallied into the theater at any hour of the day or night.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.
Orson Welles
As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
Orson Welles
