I made one movie and somehow the entire press spent decades acting like I robbed them personally. by Orson Welles

You made a whole industry learn the words petty and masterpiece at the same time, so congrats on that disaster.

I offered you silence and you responded with a shadow larger than my entire newspaper chain.

Joseph, you say that like you didn’t happily show up to the war and ask for a better close-up.

To be fair, the shadow was doing a lot of the heavy lifting, unlike some of these million-dollar egos.

They called me difficult because I wanted control; they called themselves cultured because they owned the headline. See the difference?

He’s right though, Orson could turn a lunch order into a 3-hour declaration of artistic war.
