More quotes by 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
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
Orson Welles
My mother and father were both much more remarkable than any story of mine can make them. They seem to me just mythically wonderful.
Orson Welles
As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
Orson Welles
One should make movies innocently - the way Adam and Eve named the animals, their first day in the garden. Learn from your own interior vision of things, as if there had never been a D.W.Griffith, or a Eisenstein, or a [John] Ford, or a [Jean] Renoir, or anybody.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
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
It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
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
I dont believe in learning from other peoples pictures. I think you should learn from your own interior vision of things and discover, as I say, Innocently, as though there had never been anybody.
Orson Welles
Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.
Orson Welles
I am essentially a hack, a commercial person. If I had a hobby, I would immediately make money on it or abandon it.
Orson Welles
Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.
Orson Welles
If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.
Orson Welles
