Known culinary enthusiast.
His weight gain over the years is something that became pretty obvious—especially when his weight climbed over 400lbs. Part of the reason he gained so much was likely because of his dinners—two steaks, cooked rare, every night, along with a nice glass of scotch. He was once quoted as saying, “My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.” Whether that’s true or not, at least he saw the humor in things.

How many films that he was involved in were actual financial successes?

The Transformers: The Movie was the final film to which Orson Welles contributed before his death. Shortly before he died, he told his biographer, Barbara Leaming, "You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen."

You can't help but love Orson Welles for his contributions to cinema and the great sense of humor he had about himself and everything else.

There's a talk show interview with him and Peter O'Toole discussing Hamlet. Amazing and perhaps very discouraging to think how much more intellectual such shows were at one time.
I watched a Hollywood Reporter round table with Tarantino, Ridley Scott etc.
Yikes.
No quotable quips there.
