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.

From Wes Anderson

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.

From Wes Anderson

Kids are always open to anything. It's very rare that a kid isn't extremely eager to make you happy.

From Wes Anderson

The subject of an outsider who becomes obsessed.

From Wes Anderson

Usually when I'm making a movie, what I have in mind first, for the visuals, is how we can stage the scenes to bring them more to life in the most interesting way, and then how we can make a world for the story that the audience hasn't quite been in before.

From 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.

From 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.

From Wes Anderson

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

From Wes Anderson

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

From Wes Anderson

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.
