Do you know how writers often say the characters take over... But that is more or less what it always feels like to me, too. Even though that's just a way of describing how your brain is working, it's still what you tend to feel.

More quotes by Wes Anderson
Sometimes when you're editing a movie, you have the thing that you don't expect - which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.
Wes Anderson
When you're doing a live-action movie, you have your day set up and you're going to do this shot and this shot, and eventually the sun is going to go down. It's a sequential race to whatever is going to end the day.
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
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
When I see the first dailies on any movie, I usually feel that I had no idea how this combination of ingredients was going to mix together, what it was going to produce.
Wes Anderson
the one thing I've observed over the years is the best way to get an actor to not want to play a certain role is to offer it to them. That makes them say, Well, maybe it's not that good. These guys don't want me to do this...
Wes Anderson
I've always loved stop motion animation and I particularly wanted to do stop motion with puppets that have fur, for whatever reason that is.
Wes Anderson
Animating is a very slow, pain-staking process and the animators become the actors at that point.
Wes Anderson
The thing with animation is that you record the actors like a radio show and then the animators become actors in their own way because it's their job to take this puppets and make them seem alive. They bring their own personalities to the way they move these puppets.
Wes Anderson
With each movie I have a different set of inspirations.
Wes Anderson
I don't think any of us are normal people.
Wes Anderson
When you finish work, practically everybody in that place is going to watch a movie at night anyway. They're tired. They have dinner. They go up to their room. They're watching TV.
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
Sometimes if the people are up for trying something that I'm interested in, it can be a great experience.
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
India is a place where one of the great pleasures for a foreigner is that you're constantly surprised. Everywhere you look is something that is either funny, or very moving, but there is always so much that is so unexpected.
Wes Anderson
I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
Wes Anderson
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.
Wes Anderson
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
Anytime I make a movie, I really have absolutely no idea how it's going to go over. I've had the whole range of different kinds of reactions.
Wes Anderson
