Paul Thomas Anderson's most famous quotes:
- “But I'd be lying if I didn't say that every time you go to make a film, you're desperate to either do it better than you did it last time or to not repeat yourself.”
- “Acting is the hardest job in the entire world. By far. Harder than ditch digging.”
- “I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.”
- “Screenwriting is like ironing. You move forward a little bit and go back and smooth things out.”
- “I'll rebel against powers and principalities, all the time. Always, I will.”
- “I didn't have any desire I might have had 10 years ago to shoot every single word that I wrote.”
- “I always had a dream about trying to make a movie that had no dialogue in it, that was just music and pictures. I still haven't done it yet, but I tried to get close in the beginning.”
- “Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it.”
- “There's a lot for screenwriters to steal from songwriters, in terms of getting to the point.”
- “Well I'd really love to work with Robert De Niro, because he's still the most talented actor out there.”
- “So with 'There Will Be Blood,' I didn't even really feel like I was adapting a book. I was just desperate to find stuff to write.”
- “I am always looking for that nuance, that moment of truth, and you can't really do that fast.”
- “I don't think it's a director's job to peek behind the curtain too much.”
- “It's a gamble you take, the risk of alienating an audience. But there's a theory - sometimes it's better to confuse them for five minutes than let them get ahead of you for 10 seconds.”
