Paris is a place where, for me, just walking down a street that I've never been down before is like going to a movie.

More quotes by Wes Anderson
I chose philosophy because it sounded like something I ought to be interested in. I didn't know anything about it, I didn't even know what it was talking about. What I really spent my time doing in those years was writing short stories. There were all sorts of interesting courses, but what I really wanted to do was make stories one way or another.
Wes Anderson
Animating is a very slow, pain-staking process and the animators become the actors at that point.
Wes Anderson
I wouldn't say that I'm particularly bothered or obsessed with detail.
Wes Anderson
I just now put [Robert Altman] down feeling heartbroken but happily and deeply inspired. . . . Wonderful.
Wes Anderson
I would like to do a movie in space, but I think it would be difficult to do it on location.
Wes Anderson
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
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.
Wes Anderson
The kids are the ones that have a clarity about what they want. They don't have any wisdom, but they do have a clear understanding about what they want to have happen.
Wes Anderson
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
I love working with actors. That's what the set really is, for me. It's my time with the actors.
Wes Anderson
With each movie I have a different set of inspirations.
Wes Anderson
Kids are always open to anything. It's very rare that a kid isn't extremely eager to make you happy.
Wes Anderson
The movies I make tend not to be quite reality but the characters are inspired by real people and they're always very personal.
Wes Anderson
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
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
I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience.
Wes Anderson
I've never had a movie that got great reviews. I've had movies that got different levels of good and bad reviews, but you can more or less count on plenty of bad reviews.
Wes Anderson
People often call and say: Can you help me to get Bill Murray in our movie. But I'm always like, well I don't know how to do that! I've sometimes tried and not been able to get him but then I'll suddenly be very surprised by the thing that he will suddenly decide to do.
Wes Anderson
I guess when I think about it, one of the things I like to dramatise, and what is sometimes funny, is someone coming unglued. I don't consider myself someone who is making the argument that I support these choices. I just think it can be funny.
Wes Anderson
The things that are more my own style are something that I don't really have to think about. The only time I have to think about them is if I want to force myself not to do it the way I do it.
Wes Anderson
