Paul Thomas Anderson quotes about
writing stomach
I write from my stomach.
children done can-do
We’re all children of Kubrick, aren’t we? Is there anything you can do that he hasn’t done?
competent describing knows
You know, I'm really not that competent at describing things musically.
rain fall orange
It's so hard to do anything that doesn't owe some kind of debt to what Stanley Kubrick did with music in movies. Inevitably, you're going to end up doing something that he's probably already done before. It always seem like we're falling behind whatever he came up with. 'Singin' in the Rain'' in Clockwork Orange - that was the first time I became so aware of music in movies. So no matter how hard you try to do something new, you're always following behind.
jobs hardest-job acting
Acting is the hardest job in the entire world. By far. Harder than ditch digging.
feelings good-movie gut-feelings
I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.
long childhood remember
I had the standard movie geek childhood, because for as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was make movies.
finals film bigs
To make a film, the final big collaborator that you have is the composer.
confusing fans whimsical
I've never been a fan of whimsical or confusing storytelling.
criticism
How do I respond to criticism? Critically. I listen to all criticism critically.
