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 wasnt that fat, and I would get on a diet, quickly.

I personally think Chimes of Midnight is a much better film than Citizen Kane.

People say to me now, Oh, youve given up the piano. How can you? Music is a virus.

I was always jealous of my violinist friends and cellist friends who traveled with their instruments.

Never count your chickens before you can stick a fork into them.

Film is limitless, but some stage presentations on film can look too theatrical.

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