idlesuperstar:Happy Birthday Orson Welles: 6th May 1915 - 10th October 1985I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don’t think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money. - Orson WellesOrson Welles is a giant with the face of a child, a tree filled with birds and shadows, a dog who has broken loose from his chains and gone to sleep on the flower-bed. He is an active loafer, a wise madman, a solitude surrounded by humanity. - Jean CocteauOrson was a superb dramatizer. As an actor, he was limited by his unique physical presence and that great booming conman’s voice. But when it came to storytelling, he was as exciting at a corner table, talking, as he was on the screen itself in a work all his own. - Gore VidalIf you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story. -Orson Welles -- source link
