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!

There are a thousand ways of playing a good classic. If it were effective, I would play Hamlet on a trapeze.
Orson Welles
Image
I dont believe in learning from other peoples pictures. I think you should learn from your own interior vision of things and discover, as I say, Innocently, as though there had never been anybody.

Image
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.

I don't think any word can explain a man's life.

Image
I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
Orson Welles
Image
I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
Orson Welles
Image
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.

As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect it's the aspect.
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.

Image
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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?

Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup companies, which does not have laboratories for the purpose of experimentation.
Orson Welles
Image
I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.
Orson Welles
Image
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.

'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles
Image
The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.
Orson Welles
Image
Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
Orson Welles
Image
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.
