We spent the next five minutes talking about Kane and what a nice guy Welles was.

That's not the first time I've heard that beneath his gruff exterior, Orson Welles was generally kind to people, both those he worked with and to strangers as well. As recounted to me, he was a very driven man who wanted the best in his craft but did have patience with others.

And of course, there's the Paul Masson pitches. Ahhh...the French!

I always like Welles' line "The writer needs a pen, the painter a brush, and the filmmaker...an army."

Have you heard his rant on Birdseye frozen peas?

I always wonder what that couple sitting next to Welles holding the bottle are thinking.
