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.

More quotes by Wes Anderson
I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience.
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 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
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
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
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
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.
Wes Anderson
Working with kids is usually very fun. They get so into movie and they're up for anything. Usually they're having such an exciting experience, everybody feels that.
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
I usually set aside a lot of time in advance of a movie with important roles for kids to search, but when you have great ones, they can be a real ace in the hole.
Wes Anderson
The subject of an outsider who becomes obsessed.
Wes Anderson
Animating is a very slow, pain-staking process and the animators become the actors at that point.
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
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 just now put [Robert Altman] down feeling heartbroken but happily and deeply inspired. . . . Wonderful.
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 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
Kids are always open to anything. It's very rare that a kid isn't extremely eager to make you happy.
Wes Anderson
One of the things I enjoyed the most is just working as an actor.
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
