More quotes by Owen Wilson
I guess that's the thing about Rome: It never changes.
Owen Wilson
You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they're the cool seniors.
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
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
I think of Terrence Malick's movie Days of Heaven - one of Richard Gere's first movies - you can push pause on almost any image in the movie and it looks like a painting.
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
You can't get too attached to any one shampoo. And conditioner, also.
Owen Wilson
We worked together with Wes Anderson writing a couple more movies together: Rushmore [1998] and Tenenbaums.
Owen Wilson
Maybe because I began as a writer, I have a good ear for dialogue, and maybe being an English major - and that I also read a lot as a kid - if I hear somebody say something that I think's funny, or I find a situation or story, I'll try to work that into the movie.
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
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
Hansel is certainly about comfort, while still sort of having a peacock principle of wanting to attract attention.
Owen Wilson
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
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
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
Acting is more fun than writing. Writing is harder, more like having a term paper.
Owen Wilson
It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it.
Owen Wilson
That's the thing about friendship, it's a lot rarer than love, because there is nothing in it for any body.
Owen Wilson
I love Francis Bacon. I just saw a great Jackson Pollock exhibit at the Dallas Museum when I was home for Thanksgiving.
Owen Wilson
The Australian accent just a very lovely accent and it doesn't have the pretention maybe of an English accent, but yet seems a little bit more exotic than an American.
