More quotes by Orson Welles
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
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
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles

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 love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
Orson Welles
I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.
Orson Welles

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
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Orson Welles
I have an unfortunate personality.
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
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
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
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
