Wes Anderson's films, 6-year-olds are crazy about them.

Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.

When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

That's the nice thing about collaborating with someone: Your work becomes a conversation.

You can be aware that something is idiosyncratic, and give it to a character, but keep doing it.

I like to try to shoot in the city in a way that allows the city to go about its business while we're shooting, and that's always a challenge because unfortunately people on the street don't know not to look in the camera or interact with the actors.

I watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.
