It was nice that you guys have such a good sense of humor, because some people don't have the ability to laugh at something.
Owen Wilson
My mother photographed Donald Judd in Marfa, Texas, right before he passed away. He was actually the first artist whose work I collected. I just loved the photographs that my mom had done of Donald Judd and the installations in Marfa.

Hansel is certainly about comfort, while still sort of having a peacock principle of wanting to attract attention.
Owen Wilson
You can't get too attached to any one shampoo. And conditioner, also.
Owen Wilson
I saw Ben Stiller's movie Walter Mitty [2013] it's very beautiful. You look at some of the movies John Ford did with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, and then look at Remington and Ansel Adams, and I think you see a connection, certainly in the imagery of the West.
Owen Wilson
It isn't so much that I choose the roles - I mean, I guess there's a little bit of a selection process - but it's more just what people offer you.
Owen Wilson
You know how they say we only use 10 percent of our brains? I think we only use 10 percent of our hearts.

We didn't know what the reception was going to be when we walked out on the runway, but it felt like we were in a rock band. People started cheering. It was a nice way to begin Zoolander 2, with that kind of reception.

Anna Wintour has a reputation - she can be very intimidating - but that day [Valentino show] she was just smiling and laughing. That was my first time meeting her, and she seemed like she was having a great time. Everybody was enjoying themselves.
Owen Wilson
If a movie goes south, it might not capsize me the way it used to. But I still have a terrible fear of failure. I'm a huge worrier.
Owen Wilson
James L.Brooks is just a very original person. So that was definitely the luckiest, most important thing that happened to me [meeting him]. Then I guess also meeting Ben Stiller. He cast me in the only thing I think I ever auditioned for and got: Cable Guy [1996]. And that led to us becoming friends.
Owen Wilson
I guess that's the thing about Rome: It never changes.
Owen Wilson
The way Woody Allen directs, there isn't a lot of direction. He kind of might give a few gentle suggestions, but he really says right from the first day, Just make it sound natural, and if you don't like something, put it in your own words. And [Woody Allen] gives you a lot of freedom and just very polite.
Owen Wilson
What's funny is that there's a lot of great Australian actors in American movies but you don't often hear them do their Australian, original accent.
Owen Wilson
You know you're in love when you wear condoms while having sex with other women.
Owen Wilson
Maybe that's why there's an insecurity sometimes in acting, because it's not like there's a correlation between hard work and how people receive you.
Owen Wilson
The first thing I remember is Alexander Calder - our school took us on a field trip to go see the Calder mobiles, and that always stuck in my memory.
Owen Wilson
I think for Wes [Anderson] and me, the most important thing was James L. Brooks producing our first movie and giving us a chance to come to Hollywood, because without him, we might never have gotten the chance.
Owen Wilson
True love is your souls recognition of its counterpoint in another.
Owen Wilson
We worked together with Wes Anderson writing a couple more movies together: Rushmore [1998] and Tenenbaums.
