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.

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 wouldn't say that I'm particularly bothered or obsessed with detail.

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
Image
One of the things I enjoyed the most is just working as an actor.
Wes Anderson
Image
A lot of people have said my movies are all the same. But I don't actually make an effort to have a style. I'm usually just thinking of what can we do to make it funnier or more interesting or just kind of refine it and it ends up like that.

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
Image
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.

I love working with actors. That's what the set really is, for me. It's my time with the actors.
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.
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.

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.

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
Image
I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience.
Wes Anderson
Image
With each movie I have a different set of inspirations.
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.

I just now put [Robert Altman] down feeling heartbroken but happily and deeply inspired. . . . Wonderful.

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
Image
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
Image
Any romantic feelings for a 12-year-old are like entering into a fantasy world.
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...
