More quotes by Orson Welles
Human nature is eternal therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.
Orson Welles
I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
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
Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.
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
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
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.
Orson Welles
I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
Orson Welles
In attempting to explain F For Fake's state-side failure, it has occurred to me that perhaps the subject matter was at least partially to blame, and that this country is so blissfully enslaved by the notion of the special sanctity of the expert that an overtly anti-expert film was bound to go too much against the national grain.
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.
Orson Welles
I'm extremely surprised to learn that a story, which has become familiar to children through the medium of comic strips and many succeeding novels and adventure stories, should have had such an immediate and profound effect upon radio listeners.
Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
It would be so much better if the critics would come, not on first nights, but on last nights, when they could exercise their undoubted flair for funeral orations.
Orson Welles
One should make movies innocently - the way Adam and Eve named the animals, their first day in the garden. Learn from your own interior vision of things, as if there had never been a D.W.Griffith, or a Eisenstein, or a [John] Ford, or a [Jean] Renoir, or anybody.
Orson Welles
I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
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.
Orson Welles
