More quotes by Orson Welles
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?
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.
Orson Welles
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.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
Crooks aren't the worst people, just the stupidest. The fleas of the world.
Orson Welles
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
Orson Welles
