I wanted to meet Orson Welles. So I was like, whatever, somehow get me in on this. I'm able to get cast in it, but Orson Welles worked alone. He worked before all of us worked. He didn't want to work with anyone else.

Judd Nelson

Like so many people, I only remembered Orson Welles as this huge, fat, bearded figure selling wine in TV commercials. So whenever anyone said I looked like Orson Welles I said that I wasn't that fat, and I would get on a diet, quickly.

I like films and I have been watching films from a young age. So, making films happened to be a natural progression.

When Orson Welles was acting in 'Compulsion,' the director Richard Fleischer let him just take over and direct the courtroom scenes. To be able to see Welles - who knew more about directing than anyone - direct himself and the other actors, it was unbelievable and unforgettable.

Robert Osborne

I grew up watching a lot of old movies, so getting to ask about making movies in the '70s and people he was friends with, like Orson Welles, Lillian Hellman and Charlie Chaplin, and hearing a first-person account was pretty incredible.

Alden Ehrenreich

Orson Welles was lazy. He was a late bloomer.

Xavier Dolan

Of Orson Welles: It's like meeting God without dying.

Dorothy Parker

It was great to watch Orson Welles, not only as an actor but as a director.

Max von Sydow

I mean, everyone says Citizen Kane. It isn't that great, anyway. And Orson Welles I knew well, of course. He made other incredible films that no one would let him make, which were much better than Citizen Kane, really.

Patrick Macnee

If I could steal someone's dream myself, I'd have to go for one of Orson Welles.

Christopher Nolan

I'm inspired by film-makers such as Ridley Scott, David Fincher, Orson Welles.

David Cage

[On Orson Welles:] When I talk to him, I feel like a plant that's been watered.

Marlene Dietrich

I am the only actor who ever had to lose weight to play Orson Welles.

Christian McKay

For me, I was watching Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Orson Welles, Victor Fleming movies, and I said, "I want to tell stories like that. I want to move people like that. But I'm good at magic, so what am I going to do?" So I started using magic for the right reasons - to get the girl.
