6 May: Orson Welles Quotes

On the anniversary of his birth in 1915, ten Orson Welles quotes.

  1. My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

  2. I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.

  3. Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad, except you never know when luxury is going to stand up.

  4. Don’t give them what you think they want. Give them what they never thought was possible.

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

  6. If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

  7. Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.

  8. What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other.

  9. The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.

  10. My definition of success is not having things thrown at me!






I also write novels and short stories. If you like superheroes, psychic detectives and general weirdness you might enjoy them.
