Australian cattle dogs, are not like Labradors, where they just like to just sit around by the fire and get petted. They're working dogs, so they have a lot of energy, and they can drive you crazy.

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.

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
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
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
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.

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
We worked together with Wes Anderson writing a couple more movies together: Rushmore [1998] and Tenenbaums.
