I wonder what his thoughts about Landis were like after the Twilight Zone movie accident.

What a guy.
H.J.: You didn’t find him charming as hell?
O.W.: No, no charm. To me, he was just a hateful, hateful man. I think Katie just doesn’t like me. She doesn’t like the way I look. Don’t you know there’s such a thing as physical dislike? Europeans know that about other Europeans. If I don’t like somebody’s looks, I don’t like them. See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I’m profoundly convinced that that’s a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
H.J.: Orson, that’s ridiculous.
O.W.: Measure them. Measure them!

It is never silly when you quote Orson Welles
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
Orson Welles
My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.
Orson Welles
The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.
Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Orson Welles
The director is the most overrated artist in the world. He is the only artist who, with no talent whatsoever, can be a success for 50 years without his lack of talent ever being discovered.
Orson Welles
Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
Orson Welles

While true that if there were no future John Landis movies, it would be no great loss. For the rest, Orson sounds like he is being wittily (and intentionally) provocative as only he can be.

Amazingly Jess Franco comes out of it smelling like roses.. Go figure.  It's a little known fact Orson was sacked by Woody from EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX. Orson was originally cast as a sperm in the final section but Woody wanted a more svelte interpretation and the more suitable, (fresh from PLAYGIRL   )Burt Reynolds substituted. Welles was clearly made bitter by this turn of events - Woody remains at liberty and artistically fecund. |

That may be the greatest interview ever. People like Orson Welles make the world so much more interesting.
