As a mentalist, perhaps only Orson Wells was in Jason's league. After a career in television, Randal has my endorsement. He's simply the best I've ever seen!
Orson Welles was one of these people who was defying everything the doctors told him he wasn't supposed to be doing. He was really enjoying himself when he was eating what he wanted to eat.
Orson Welles lists Citizen Kane as his best film, Alfred Hitchcock opts for Shadow of a Doubt, and Sir Carol Reed chose The Third Man - and I'm in all of them.
I had the good fortune of speaking with Orson Wells many decades ago and he said 'Success is primarily luck anyway. ' And I have been very lucky. Of course, Orson Wells was enormously talented and brilliant - so who am I to argue with him!
Only a certain breed of actor should ever even try to work for Orson Welles. I'm glad I'm one of that breed.
I am the only actor who ever had to lose weight to play Orson Welles.
You have to remain strong. That's the kind of filmmaker I want to encourage. Orson Welles was the one who said, you know, you can learn anything you need to know about filmmaking- that's camera, sound, celluloid, video at this point- in four hours. It has nothing to do with anything. It has nothing to do with it. . . It has to do with what you want to say. If you feel you have something to say, you'll find that way to get it said, on film, and not let anyone or anything chip away at that or tarnish it, because it's something special and precious.
Of Orson Welles: It's like meeting God without dying.
I was watching Orson Welles and Jean Vigo films at a ridiculously young age.
