A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
Orson Welles
Image
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Orson Welles
Image
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
Image
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
Image
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
Image
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.

Image
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Orson Welles
Image
Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.
Orson Welles
Image
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.

There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.

You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.
Orson Welles
Image
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
Orson Welles
Image
In my real movie-going days, which were the thirties, you didn't stand in line. You strolled down the street and sallied into the theater at any hour of the day or night.
Orson Welles
Image
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
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
Image
The director is the most overrated artist in the world. He is the only artist who, with no talent whatsoever, can be a success for 50 years without his lack of talent ever being discovered.

I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.

A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.

Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
