(on making Citizen Kane (1941) with Orson Welles) Orson must have been about 22 then and I still think he`s one of the greatest directors in the world. I don`t know why people regard him as a difficult man. He was the easiest, most inspiring man I`ve ever worked with. He was the only one who seemed to know what he was doing because we were all virgins on that picture.
—Joseph Cotten
