Famous quotes containing the word welles:

    Thompson: Nothing particular the matter with him, they tell me, just ...
    Bernstein: Just old age. It’s the only disease, Mr. Thompson, that you don’t look forward to being cured of.
    —Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    I hate television. I hate it as much as peanuts. But I can’t stop eating peanuts.
    —Orson Welles (1915–1985)
