Orson Welles : (5)

" As a producer, sitting on the other side of the desk, I have never once had an agent go out on a limb for his client and fight for him. I’ve never heard one say, ‘No, just a minute! This is the actor you should use.’ They will always say, ‘You don’t like him? I’ve got somebody else.’ They’re totally spineless. " - Orson Welles

" The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left. " - Orson Welles

" I’ve spent most of my mature life trying to prove that I’m not irresponsible. " - Orson Welles

" My kind of director is an actor-director who writes. " - Orson Welles

" 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
