Wes Anderson Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I love working with actors. That’s what the set really is, for me. It’s my time with the actors Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Kids are always open to anything. It’s very rare that a kid isn’t extremely eager to make you happy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

That’s the kind of movie that I like to make, where there is an invented reality and the audience is going to go someplace where hopefully they’ve never been before. The details, that’s what the world is made of Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I didn’t think so much of him at first. But now I get it: he’s everything that I’m not Picture Quote #1

What happened to your hand? It got hit by a mirror. How’d that happen? I lost my temper at myself Picture Quote #1

I want to try not to repeat myself. But then I seem to do it continuously in my films. It’s not something I make any effort to do. I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience. I feel I get criticized for style over substance, and for details that get in the way of the characters. But every decision I make is how to bring those characters forward Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We worked together with Wes Anderson writing a couple more movies together: Rushmore [1998] and Tenenbaums Picture Quote #1
