More quotes by Orson Welles
Good evening, ladies and gentleman. My name is Orson Welles. I am an actor. I am a writer. I am a producer. I am a director. I am a magician. I appear onstage and on the radio. Why are there so many of me and so few of you?
Orson Welles
A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.
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 a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose.
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
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
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
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
Orson Welles
I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I've only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
In attempting to explain F For Fake's state-side failure, it has occurred to me that perhaps the subject matter was at least partially to blame, and that this country is so blissfully enslaved by the notion of the special sanctity of the expert that an overtly anti-expert film was bound to go too much against the national grain.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
