More quotes by Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
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
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
I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don't think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money.
Orson Welles
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
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
Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem.
Orson Welles
In common with all Protestant or Jewish cultures, America was developed on the idea that your word is your bond. Otherwise, the frontier could never have been opened, 'cause it was lawless. A man's word had to mean something.
Orson Welles
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles
I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
