Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
