More quotes by 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
Any romantic feelings for a 12-year-old are like entering into a fantasy world.
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 subject of an outsider who becomes obsessed.
Wes Anderson
I have a way of filming things and staging them and designing sets. There were times when I thought I should change my approach, but in fact, this is what I like to do. It's sort of like my handwriting as a movie director. And somewhere along the way, I think I've made the decision: I'm going to write in my own handwriting.
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.

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'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
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
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
What happened to your hand? It got hit by a mirror. How'd that happen? I lost my temper at myself.
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
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
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.
Wes Anderson
On Fantastic Mr. Fox, I got used to working with animated storyboards as a way of planning for the shoot. We did a lot of sequences that way with this movie. Partly as a result of that, I decided to build more sets in order to do certain shots.
Wes Anderson
One of the things I enjoyed the most is just working as an actor.
Wes Anderson
Sometimes if the people are up for trying something that I'm interested in, it can be a great experience.
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
I just now put [Robert Altman] down feeling heartbroken but happily and deeply inspired. . . . Wonderful.
Wes Anderson
You don't do background music the way a lot of more conventional films do. The music is often kind of a character in your films to the extent that sometimes you stop and watch someone perform a song.
