fun writing term-paper
Acting is more fun than writing. Writing is harder, more like having a term paper.
tired work-out dying
It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it.
rome months six
I lived in Rome for about five or six months during Life Aquatic.
rome never-change
I guess that's the thing about Rome: It never changes.
comfort attention principles
Hansel is certainly about comfort, while still sort of having a peacock principle of wanting to attract attention.
nice laughing people
It was nice that you guys have such a good sense of humor, because some people don't have the ability to laugh at something.
beautiful thinking connections
I saw Ben Stiller's movie Walter Mitty [2013]; it's very beautiful. You look at some of the movies John Ford did with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, and then look at Remington and Ansel Adams, and I think you see a connection, certainly in the imagery of the West.
character interesting trying
Because it's me playing the character, trying to find a way to make it believable and entertaining and interesting.
kids thinking trying
Maybe because I began as a writer, I have a good ear for dialogue, and maybe being an English major - and that I also read a lot as a kid - if I hear somebody say something that I think's funny, or I find a situation or story, I'll try to work that into the movie.
interesting people quality
The movies I've done with Wes [Anderson] have a much different quality than some of the more broad comedies. But what is interesting is how many sequels I've done. I've worked with Ben [Stiller] a million times now, and this is yet another sequel we're doing. I guess we're lucky to be in some movies that people wanted to see again.
mean people littles
It isn't so much that I choose the roles - I mean, I guess there's a little bit of a selection process - but it's more just what people offer you.
rome bored people
I was in Rome this time for about three or four months, and I feel like, by the time I left, every single person in Rome had seen me at least 10 times riding my bicycle. When I first got there, it seemed like people were happy to see me and would say hello. And by the end, they were kind of bored of seeing me. And it was like, "Ugh, there he goes again."
couple writing together
We worked together with Wes Anderson writing a couple more movies together: Rushmore [1998] and Tenenbaums.
littles showing-up pajamas
I guess I was a little bit nervous, because there seemed to be so much secrecy with Ben [Stiller] wanting to make sure that it was a surprise when we walked out on the [Valentino] runway. I remember showing up at Place Vendôme and doing the fitting and seeing the pajamas that I was going to wear - which I like very much - and seeing Ben arrive kind of in disguise.
