I think I made essential a mistake in staying in movies, because I - but it's a mistake I can't regret, because it's like saying, 'I shouldn't have stayed married to that woman, but I did because I love her.'

Orson Welles 258 quotes

I've always found it very sanitary to be broke.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

At twenty-one, so many things...

At twenty-one, so many things appear solid, permanent, untenable.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

If you've noticed that I don'...

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.

I'm not a walking extra in a Chekhov play; I'm no Slavic gloom or Irish gloom.

On my tombstone, I want written: 'He never did 'Love Boat!'

I've never understood the cult of Hitchcock. Particularly the late American movies... Egotism and laziness. And they're all lit like television shows.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

I hate television. I hate it ...

I hate television. I hate it as much as peanuts. But I can't stop eating peanuts.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

My mother and father were both much more remarkable than any story of mine can make them. They seem to me just mythically wonderful.

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.

A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.

I prefer the old masters, by which I mean John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

I don't want to forgive mysel...

I don't want to forgive myself. That's why I hate psychoanalysis I think if you're guilty of something you should live with it. Get rid of it - how can you get rid of a real guilt? I think people should live with it, face up to it.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

Future shock is a sickness which comes from too much change in too short a time. It's the feeling that nothing is permanent anymore.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

I think we're a kind of despe...

I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers - because males have got to try and justify their existence.

n Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

Working is part of life, I do...

Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

Human nature is eternal; therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

The only reason for doing a play is to make a statement about it, and by that I don't mean a conceit of the producer.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

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.
