Orson Welles
Image
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles

There are a thousand ways of playing a good classic. If it were effective, I would play Hamlet on a trapeze.
Orson Welles
Image
A movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had.
Orson Welles
Image
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
Image
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

Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles

The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.
