Orson Welles

George Orson Welles (/ˈwɛlz/; May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an American actor, director, writer, and producer who worked in theatre, radio, and film. He is remembered for his innovative work in all three: in theatre, most notably Caesar (1937), a Broadway adaptation of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; in radio, the 1938 broadcast "The War of the Worlds", one of the most famous in the history of radio; and in film, Citizen Kane (1941), consistently ranked as one of the all-time greatest films.

Welles directed a number of high-profile stage productions for the Federal Theatre Project in his early twenties, including an innovative adaptation of Macbeth with an entirely African American cast, and the political musical The Cradle Will Rock. In 1937 he and John Houseman founded the Mercury Theatre, an independent repertory theatre company that presented an acclaimed series of productions on Broadway through 1941. Welles found national and international fame as the director and narrator of a 1938 radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds performed for his radio anthology series The Mercury Theatre on the Air. It reportedly caused widespread panic when listeners thought that an invasion by extraterrestrial beings was occurring. Although some contemporary sources claim these reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed Welles to notoriety.

'Orson Welles' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:

Quotes:

Martha Gellhorn: Past five minutes, I've watched you. I've watched you type pages and let them float into the wastebasket.::Ernest Hemingway: Never crumple pages. Always let them float gently into the basket.::Ernest Hemingway: Any writer who rips out his stuff and crumples it will go insane in a year, guaranteed.

Ernest Hemingway: Writing's like mass. God gets mad if you don't show up.

Ernest Hemingway: Hey, no snooping.::Martha Gellhorn: Come on, muses always snoop.

Ernest Hemingway: Done by noon... drunk by 3:00. That's my philosophy.

Ernest Hemingway: In this world, when you find a good place, you don't leave it.

Ernest Hemingway: That woman loves humanity, but can't stand people.

Martha Gellhorn: We were good in war. And when there was no war, we made our own.::Martha Gellhorn: The battlefield neither of us could survive was domestic life.

Ernest Hemingway: Writing, at its best, is a lonely life.::Ernest Hemingway: As a writer grows in public stature, he sheds his loneliness, and often his work deteriorates, for he does his work alone.

Martha Gellhorn: I do not see myself as a footnote to someone else's life.

Cameron enters a student film contest, though he lacks the resources of his peers. Learning that Flash is a retired Hollywood gaffer-and the only surviving crew member from Citizen Kane-Cameron follows him to his home at the Motion Picture Residence for the Elderly, a colony of aging film folk set aside by the industry. A quirky fellowship develops, in which Flash and his friends help Cameron make his film, and, in doing so, change his life.

Quotes:

Flash Madden: We never lose our gifts - only our opportunity to open them.

Flash Madden: Oh boy. Does he have the best crew in town?::Mrs. Erskine: Well, the oldest crew anyway.::Speed: what?::Mrs. Erskine: And the only one with a deaf sound mixer.::Speed: I heard that.

[Flash jams the Gameboy of the projectionist into the projector, because it's about to explode]::Projectionist: Oh, my god! My Gameboy!!::Flash Madden: I'm sure that Santa will bring you a new one.

Nurse: [Observing Mildred flirting with Flash in the rest home] Just the *thought* of you two bumpin' uglies messes me up.

Flash Madden: [Muttering out loud in retro-themed movie theater, where "Touch of Evil" is playing] Charlton Heston playing a Mexican... Give me a friggin' break.

Flash Madden: [Taunting a nearby audience member in the movie theater] Hey look, professor: I've MADE more movies than you've been to!

Mickey Hopkins: I'm sorry, Flash. It's been too long. I've lost "the gift".::Flash Madden: Ah, we never lose our gifts - only the opportunity to open them.::Mickey Hopkins: That's pretty eloquent... for a gaffer.::Flash Madden: Even us juicers have our moments, huh?

Cameron Kincaid: [He and Flash are discussing cigars] But aren't Cuban cigars illegal in this country?::Flash Madden: I consider it burning their crops!

Flash Madden: [Speaking to Cameron] This country's famous for shittin' on their elderly. God help you if you don't have family... America's all about the young, the beautiful, the "Winner"! Ya' know, kid, in Europe, Asia, and especially Africa, the elderly are truly respected and they're almost TREASURED by the young people. Not here, though. Oh, no... We live in a throw-away society. If it breaks, throw it away. If a new one pops up, throw the old one away. If your puppy grows up to be a pain-in-the-ass dog, dump it. Someone will kill it. If your marriage isn't working, hey, divorce, throw it away, marry someone else. If you get sick of them, throw them away, too.

Flash Madden: Nietzsche was full of shit, most of the time. Tolstoy said that Nietzsche was stupid and, uh... abnormal.

Famous quotes by Orson Welles:

"The basic and essential human is the woman"

"A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet."

"If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends."

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

"I have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose."

"I passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time."

"Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others."

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

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

"We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone."

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

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

"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."

"Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem."

"Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations."

"Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him."

"They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies."

"The essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing Hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it."

"Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate."

"I hate television. I hate it as much as peanuts. But I can't stop eating peanuts."

Welles, Orson Filmography

Famous quotes by Orson Welles:

"The basic and essential human is the woman"

"A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet."

"If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends."

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

"I have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose."

"I passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time."

"Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others."

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

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

"We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone."

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

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

"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."

"Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem."

"Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations."

"Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him."

"They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies."

"The essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing Hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it."

"Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate."

"I hate television. I hate it as much as peanuts. But I can't stop eating peanuts."
