More quotes by Orson Welles
The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.
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
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
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
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
Orson Welles
If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.
Orson Welles
Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.
Orson Welles
You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
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
The classy gangster is a Hollywood invention.
Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
Orson Welles
I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
Orson Welles
It would be so much better if the critics would come, not on first nights, but on last nights, when they could exercise their undoubted flair for funeral orations.
Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
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
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
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
