I don't know what is in store for the movie business any better than anybody else does, but it does seem like my kind of movies are a little trickier than it used to be - or maybe a lot trickier.

With each movie I have a different set of inspirations.
Wes Anderson
Image
There's no story if there isn't some conflict. The memorable things are usually not how pulled together everybody is. I think everybody feels lonely and trapped sometimes. I would think it's more or less the norm.
Wes Anderson
Image
I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
Wes Anderson
Image
The only thing that takes away from it is when they steal some music from one of my movies and put it in a TV commercial. I am not crazy about influencing TV commercials. But if I legitimately influence someone making a movie, I think that is really flattering.
Wes Anderson
Image
Any romantic feelings for a 12-year-old are like entering into a fantasy world.
Wes Anderson
Image
I don't really wanna think about themes. I wanna just think about the experience of the movie. I feel like, as soon as I reduce it to a theme, once I write that sentence, it won't be that great. I feel like there's more potential for it to mean something interesting if I'm not forcing it to mean something I've already decided.

My experience with casting children is that... the whole movie is going to rest on their shoulders, so you have to set aside time and wait for the perfect people to appear.
Wes Anderson
Image
Mostly with commercial work, it isn't about personal vision. It's not a personal effort, it's work for hire. That's more my attitude with those. You just want to be a professional worker.
Wes Anderson
Image
It's not usually that great of an idea to read lots of reviews of your movies, because even if somebody's saying nice things, there'll still be something in there that pushes the wrong button, and it's not really that helpful.
Wes Anderson
Image
I don't really look for challenges as much as I like adventures. Other than that I'm just trying to find stories I want to tell.
Wes Anderson
Image
I would like to do a movie in space, but I think it would be difficult to do it on location.
Wes Anderson
Image
I don't think any of us are normal people.
Wes Anderson
Image
I have always wanted to work in the theater. I've always felt the glamour of being backstage and that excitement, but I've never actually done it - not since I was in 5th grade, really. But I've had many plays in my films. I feel like maybe theater is a part of my movie work.
Wes Anderson
Image
Some of the ideas are kind of inspired by the songs, and I always want to use music to tell the story and give the movie a certain kind of mood. That's always essential to me.
Wes Anderson
Image
And I wanted to do a movie [Moonrise Kingdom] about a childhood romance - a very powerful experience of childhood romance. About what it's like to just be blindsided, when you're in fifth grade or sixth grade, by these kinds of feelings. Along the way, I sort of mixed in some interest in young adult fantasy writing.
Wes Anderson
Image
I wouldn't say that I'm particularly bothered or obsessed with detail.
Wes Anderson
Image
Sometimes if the people are up for trying something that I'm interested in, it can be a great experience.
Wes Anderson
Image
I love working with actors. That's what the set really is, for me. It's my time with the actors.
Wes Anderson
Image
I will say that Edward Norton, who plays the scout master, would be a first-rate Eagle Scout. He's got all those techniques. If your plane crashes into the jungle somewhere, he would be the guy you would want to have with you.
Wes Anderson

I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience.
