Welles talks of his early life, 'I played a star part the first time I ever walked on stage and I've been working my way down ever since'; his films, 'the trouble with a movie is it's old fashioned before it's released - it's not an accident that it comes in a can'; his famous War of the Worlds radio broadcast, 'people rushed out of their houses with towels on their heads as a sort of anti-Martian protection'; his future, 'you finally get to a point when art for art's sake isn't a good enough flag to be marching under'.
