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.

More quotes by 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 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
By nature, I am an experimentalist. I don't believe much in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
I'm never certain of a performance - my own or the other actors' - or the script or anything... But to me it seems there's only one place in the world the camera can be, and the decision usually comes immediately.
Orson Welles
I seem to have no dress sense at all. I'm always being listed in New York among one of the ten worst dressed men of the year. Someone once described me as looking like an unmade bed. He was right!
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
The most personal thing I've put in [Touch of Evil] is my hatred of the abuse of police power. It's better to see a murderer go free than for a policeman to abuse his power.
Orson Welles
Hollywood expects you to experiment but on a film that makes money and if you don't make money, you're to blame. Your job is to make money.
Orson Welles
I have all the equipment to be a politician. Total shamelessness.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!
Orson Welles
Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up.
Orson Welles
The essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing Hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it.
Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Orson Welles
My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.
Orson Welles
I don't take art as seriously as politics.
Orson Welles
