Nobody who takes on anything ...

Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

Now I'm an old Christmas tree...

Now I'm an old Christmas tree, the roots of which have died. They just come along and while the little needles fall off me replace them with medallions.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

In my real movie-going days, ...

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.

Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else.

I am essentially a hack, a commercial person. If I had a hobby, I would immediately make money on it or abandon it.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I've only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.

I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

See, I believe that it is not...

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.

Now I'm an old Christmas tree, the roots of which have died. They just come along and while the little needles fall off me replace them with medallions.

I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out

Orson Welles 258 quotes

Ignorance sheer ignorance. There is no confidence to equal it. It's only when you know something about a profession that you are timid or careful.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

I don't regard my career as so...

I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

I don't take art as seriously ...

I don't take art as seriously as politics.

In the theater there are 1,500 cameras rolling at the same time - in the cinema, only one.

It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]

Orson Welles 258 quotes

Take myself as a good-will amb...

Take myself as a good-will ambassador. I'm great - I'm taking myself as a character - for the intellectuals and the man on the street. I'm great where Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. leaves off. I'm
not so good with high society, in either North or South America, because I'm highly unconventional. Perhaps I bewilder people by being at once the esthete, the intellectual and the
vulgarian.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

That doesn't make any sense. S...

That doesn't make any sense. Sorry. There's no known way of saying an English sentence in which you begin a sentence with 'in' and emphasize it. Get me a jury and show me how you can say
'In July' and I'll go down on you. That's just idiotic, if you'll forgive me for saying so. It's just stupid... 'In July'; I'd love to know how you emphasize 'In' in 'In July'. Impossible!
Meaningless!

Orson Welles 258 quotes

I must be sincere towards what...

I must be sincere towards what I am. ... Experimenting is the only thing that fills me with enthusiasm. ... It is the only sphere where I feel really honest and sincere.

Orson Welles 258 quotes

[I have a] fondness for telling stories, like the Arab storytellers on the marketplace. ... I will never grow tired of [telling] stories [and] I make the mistake of thinking that everyone has the same enthusiasm!
